Thank you very much!
I installed the latest from the debian testing repro's and added
boot=live. This worked like a charm!
Im guessing I didnt even have to update to the latest lenny .deb, but
all I needed was the boot=live option.

You may want to try the 3.2.15 packages from Debian on your ubuntu machine.

Never do this! Never! Since you must boot your kernel and initrd with
parameter boot=live, moving these files to another location will not
work.

I start showing messages after the kernel got the config
space. Shortly after the red ascii text appears.

Here, boot=live is missing
