They made me sure something weird going on with my setup. And I think a have figured the problem. I was using etherboot to boot the kernel and initrd. I should have told you that before, and I'm sorry I did not.
Bootin' localy, with lilo, seems to solve the "PID problem".
I guess that's more of mknbi from etherboot question than kernel-related... I have to check more in depth the etherboot documenation/sources.
