First and above all, thanks for the reply and links.

Rest assurred, I'm not going to fork any work.

To summarize what happened: I tried the ramdisk rescue approach (which
you state works for most people) and for some reason it didn't work
for me. This was my earlier post. As a reply to this post, Marcus told
me my SD card was probably a weird one and wanted more information.
Knowing that it was not my SD card I decided to do it the manual way I
got working earlier.
However, I found that most of the Manual part (like compiling the
kernel etc.) had been taken out of the wiki, so I was faced with
finding my own solutions and used various parts of the wiki in various
places and got it to work.

If it would only confuse people, then I won't post my image. I might
try the special familier distribution in the future, but as things are
working again with the new kernel, I might just keep working with this
one.

Thanks and greets,
