OK,

booting the Suse kernel directly from hard disk is not possible since
it expects to load the IDE drivers from initrd. initrd insists on 
searching for the CDROM. I was too lazy to modify the initrd and simply 
tried to compile a 2.6.11.7 with the configuration from the suse kernel 
(except for setting PIIX to static): 

It doesn't make any difference. still doesn't run the PCMCIA slot and still 
needs the pci=noacpi kernel parameter. 

The Suse config contains some veriables (e.g. CONFIG_ACPI_INITRD) which are
not supported by the plain kernel. So some patches were applied, which seem 
to solve the problem.
