I think I found out why nobody could reproduce the problem.

I did a few more tests and it turns out that the problem only occurs
when I boot the kernel with UEFI (using Gummiboot+EFISTUB). Now, except
for OVMF virtual machines, there are barely any 32 Bit UEFI machines
around, so nobody noticed. When I boot the kernel with 32 Bit BIOS, it
boots fine.

Just to clarify: As mentioned in my first mail, some symbols still get a
0x0 CRC (which I still think is wrong), but the mismatch does not occur
in BIOS mode.

On x86_64, the problem does not occur at all.
