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...
