I could boot with parameter S, I could boot with parameter 3, so there had to be something wrong with the graphics system. I detected that grub was miss configured. Seems to be that anaconda/grub installer was disturbed by my test installation into a spare partition. The update was correctly performed for my work partition, but the root= entry in grub (of course with the same kernel version) had not been adjusted accordingly and still pointed to my test partition. I made the correction and now it boots just fine. I suppose this is a very special case and not worth a bugzilla entry. Thanks Peter
