I tried different kernels. Same error. Only that the error message

3.14.1? Please see the date on the link below.
Obviously the error 8 is for ENOEXEC - Exec format error. I wonder
what this could mean. The kernel is i386 (686-pae) and /sbin/init is
as well i386.
Here is the patch:

I'm still looking forward to hints how to recover from this problem
;-)
Does this count? :)
Sorry that I come back only now.
In the end, the cause of the problem was some hardware problem
(/obviously a faulty RAM).
I noticed that an -486 flavor kernel would boot, while -686-pae and
-amd64 would stall with this error 8. When I ran memtest, it would
indeed find a memory fault. I removed one of the three DIMMs and the
error went away (btw, even after reinstalling all DIMMs the memtest
error is no longer reproducable).
At this point, the -686-pae and -amd64 flavored kernel would boot again.
I'm facing other problems now (graphics problems and else, I have the
impression that the board is fucked up), but this init problem is gone.
Thanks for your help,
Gregor
