sorry, the essential data I didn't provide here is
probably that I configured the 2G/2G split, which for
unknown reasons actually is a 2.125/1.875 split and
starts at 0x78000000 (instead of 0x80000000)

sure, bootup is fine, as it boots on ext2/3 but once
it is up, and I mount the newly created xfs filesystem
the (virtual) machine (QEMU) panics ...

will provide all the data shortly via separated mail
