Just for the records:

older, but recent rt-kernels (3.10.*, rt [1,3]) stopped booting here 
indicating some problems with initialisation of the nouveau drm driver.
(might also be a PCI-E problem)

This was not the case with 3.8.*-rt*.
The problem gone with 3.10.10-rt7 tested today.

A lot of thanks!

PS:
Would it be much work to activate netconsole with rt-kernels?
(I was ready to send some "real screenshots" of the probelm next days,  but 
the problem gone :-) )
