OK, more info on this bug, the real problem is far more subtile.
Grub tries to boot from the wrong partition, but doesn't give the error I'm used to, might be due to the initram.

menu.lst contains /dev/hda1 as the boot-device, but /dev/hda is the CD-ROM. After changing this, I noticed that "/" could not get mounted correctly.
The UUID in /etc/fstab was "UUID=AD00-9F80". Completly incorrect syntax and not even remotly the UUID of "/".
Interestingly enough, menu.lst contained this UUID as well:

kopt=root=UUID=AD00-9F80 ro

but tried to use this for booting

kopt_2_6=root=/dev/hda1 ro (which was used and would've worked, if /dev/hda would be the HD)

So this bugs actually describes three problems: Edgy doesn't like KVMs, uses wrong UUIDs and tries to boot from the wrong drive. :)
