Hi everybody,
thanks for all of your hints, which unfortunately didn't help me in my
case, but anyway, finally I found the problem which was the file
/etc/inittab. Somehow, and I really cannot explain why, this file didn't
contain the original content but the content of some rc-script, so after
replacing it with an inittab from another server, the machine booted
flawlessly.
We're talking voodoo here...
