I think this got mixed with the ext2fs problem, so I will try with earlier
kernel and see what happens.

Nop, my console device is right, giving the kernel console=tty0 fixes the
problem. I guess that the default console has changed lately.
I will be trying with tags linux_2_4_3 and linux_2_4_4 is there any known
problem with this versions?
Is there some central location to find out known bugs?
Maybe I could maintain some "known bugs"/"Mini FAQ" of some kind.
