I didn't succeed it setting up a fully functional serial line. The
output stops when the kernel is loaded. I cannot guess why.

There's no HD-lamp flickering at all. The dumpdir is empty, too. So I
guess it's not a panic.
To assure that the reason is not my hardware, I plugged the HD into a
VIA Epia Board and used a plain monitor instead of a TFT. Everything
ran fine but X behaved exactly the same way.
I will try to compile X.org from scratch the next days to narrow down
the possible reasons for this weird behaviour.
