I already didn't have the "quiet splash" options in my append line (in fact I
didn't have an append line).

OK, since I was hoping you already knew about the problem, I had not really
searched. Now, I did, and I found the problem by comparing the previous the 2
initrd images files (the one that worked with 2.6.15-6 and the one that didn't
with 2.6.15-8).
Indeed, the problem was with the "/sbin/udevplug -Bpci" line in
/scripts/init-premount/udev.
In the previous versions of it, the line had as last argument: "-Iclass=0x0[12]*".
In recent ones, it became simply: "-Iclass=0x01*".

I don't know why the change was made, but reverting made the trick as you can see:
sensei at electron:~$ uname -r
2.6.15-8-powerpc

And just in case that helps to explain anything:
sensei at electron:~$ cat /proc/cpuinfo
processor       : 0

BTW, this is not a problem with the Airport2 card, I tried removing it before
finding this, and it didn't change a thing... just in case.)
