Further testing yielded, that the aty framebuffer driver is the "bad guy". Why? I compiled a kernel 2.4.25 with vesa and aty framebuffer included. When I boot with video=atyfb:off and video=vesa, I can properly reboot. But when I boot with video=atyfb and video=vesa:off, I cannot properly reboot. The same is true with kernel 2.4.22. I'll write an email to Geert Uytterhoeven and Daniel Mantione (developer of atyfb) and ask them for their opinion about this matter. Again, many thanks for listening and replying.
