Hmm, nice trick.  

Moreover I wasn't able to use my /vmlinuz symlink on the /-partition
which isn't found (may be because of the advanced ext2 features???).
So I have to manage an additional symlink in /boot to the real
kernel-image.

Agreed. 

Kind regards and thanks for helping me out of trouble
