"make install" had picked up the wrong root partition when it created the GRUB menu entry for the new kernel, so it actually tried to boot an experimental 64 bit installation on a different disk with my newly built 32 bit kernels. That'll teach me not to choose too similar partition names. Now to find out how "make install" creates its GRUB menu entries and why it suddenly started to go wrong ...
