Hi Alexander,
thanks for taking the time to type such a long message. Unfortunately it isn't working. It boots OK but the firmware doesn't load and I get some rather ominous messages in the sys.log

But at least it boots. 

All my attempts to build an initramfs into the kernel end in Kernel panic:(
