Thank you so much Christopher,

I tried to add init="/sbin/init -i" to my kernel command line, but boot process hangs.

[...]
Initializing software serial port version 1
 ubda: unknown partition table
 ubdb: unknown partition table
kjournald starting.  Commit interval 5 seconds

VFS: Mounted root (ext3 filesystem) readonly.

The other thing you can try is to make a simple initrd file with some busybox ........

I don't have any idea to do that. I don't know procedures of any type in this case.
But, in order to learn more, I think I can get some information about it.

I can give you some more pointers on how to do this if you are interested.

Really?
Very good idea! Thanks...
My only preoccupation is that doing this attempt  I waste precious time when probably the trouble is elsewhere.

Bye!!

You might try adding this to your kernel
command line: init="/sbin/init -i" just to see what happens.

The other thing you can try is to make a simple initrd file with some busybox commands in it,
enough to give you the ash shell and some commands like mount, pivot_root, chroot, so you can try
to mount the root filesystem yourself then pivot_root and chroot into it.

If you've never gone this route, you might try it.  You will learn a lot more about how the kernel
boots and how to debug boot problems in the process.

I can give you some more pointers on how to do this if you are interested.
