Further tests today showed that the "missing" boot directories are not the real problem. After some testing and comparing Jacob's "bad" and my "good" USB stick Jacob found another difference, which proofed to be crucial lateron: The bad stick's ext2 partition has a label, "stick", because we wanted Gnome's auto mounting to mount it at /media/stick. The good stick has no label of any kind, because 1. it was mounted as "grml 2011.05" due to the stick's former usage 2. I used dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb to get rid of any data traces. Of course just before the very test run that (mis)lead me to the /boot directory conclusion. Further tests suggest that any disk or partition label triggers the kernel panic. Jacob will continue to trace this down and come eventually come back with more details.
