Updating aboot and kernel was enough for start (surpriselly the new 
kernel booted with older (ac3) glibc).
Yes, pata - support on PWS cypress chipset is broken. :( I have all my 
working files on IDE disk (even it works slow, but big and cheap).
Hopefully Jay would have some spare time. ;)
Updated glibc and surprise again - it works with older kernel too (my 
IDE is back). :)
Now I need to find out what is correct procedure to hack packages in new 
koji environment ...

PS. mono from SVN fails to build with new gcc/binutils :(
