I did a fresh install today. The grub.cfg the installer generates works 
fine: the background now fills the whole screen and the system boots. If 
I then generate it with `grub-mkconfig > /boot/grub/grub.cfg' and 
reboot, the system no longer boots: it stops with the kernel panic I 
mentioned before. So I compared both grub.cfg files and found a 
difference in the linux boot parameters:

original:      "linux /boot/... root=/dev/hda3 ro quiet"
grub-mkconfig: "linux /boot/... root=UUID=7f....94 ro quiet"

I checked the uuid with blkid and it matches /dev/hda3. Kernel = 
2.6.31.6-libre1.
