Yeah, this was the problem. However, when fixing this, I've made 
another disaster -- I unfortuantely removed also test_fs from 
/ partition (not only /boot). And the result was pretty wild -- 
I got panicking kernel on boot with that (Linux refused to mount 
/ on  a partition with ext4 filesystem but without test_fs 
option). We should really have some protection against stupid 
users -- kernel panic is not a good reaction IMHO.
