I could fix the issue by using a 80-pin UDMA-66 cable. In other words: Previous kernel releases (around 2.6.24-something) handled such devices with 40 pin cables, recent ones don't. Maybe this somehow boosts performance for those who have such a cable, but it renders the system unusable for those who don't. This is a real no-go, since in a developing country you can't just exchange hardware like this.
The dmesg log suggests that the bus with a 40 pin cable is configured for UDMA 100, while the German Wikipedia suggests [1] that it should use UDMA 33 max. I will rename the bug report appropriately.
