Hallo,
thanks to everyone who replied!
What I finally did:
I booted into the ISL Menu and asked the user to enter
"hpux ll /stand" at the ISL prompt.
where we found the old kernel-executable "vmlinux.prev"
after entering
"hpux /stand/vmunix.prev" the machine booted the old kernel
a very useful link (thanks to gangadharan)

to quote Dave "all fluffy now!"

Andreas
