I figured the problem out, it was multiple and i think something went
wrong with the kernel 3.2.0-17-powerpc.

1) The /boot/vmlinux-3.2.0-17-powerpc had in origin the wrong rights. It was:
Owner: root
Group:  root
Rights
Owner: Read & Write
Group: None   |  But should be: Read only
Others: None  |  But should be: Read only

2) The /boot/vmlinux symlink pointing to the /boot/vmlinux-3.2.0-17-powerpc
instead of pointing to `vmlinux-3.2.0-17-powerpc` pointed to
`boot/vmlinux-3.2.0-17-powerpc`

3) The symlinks vmlinux, initrd.img and initrd.img.old were put to the
topmost level of the root partition ("/") instead of /boot

I corrected all that by hand and now, the system is booting flawlessly
into the 3.2.0-17 kernel.

I think that error is somewhat systematic since after a purge of
3.2.0-17-powerpc and a reinstallation (by apt-get) it was exactly the
same. May be someone here could tell to the people who care of the
packaging of the ppc kernels?
