Thank you for your kind aswer! The newer 2.6.27 kernel does not solve that problem at all.
I get those error messages during boot: ata 7.00 : qc timeout ata 7.00 : FAILED TO IDENTIFY (I/O error, err_mask=0x4) ata 7.00 : INIT_DEVPARAMS FAILED, err_mask 0x8 I'm pretty sure this problem is related to some weird non-standardness of my hardware. But it works fine on Windows. -- JMicron SATA Controller. Problem booting with kernel 2.6.24-19.
