Forget my last comment, the cause for the abnormal boot behaviour of my system was that I had messed up boot options in /boot/grub/menu.lst.
To boot my system I am using grub from my Gutsy installation and thus the menu.lst doesn't get rewritten if I install Hardy. Some time ago I had added 'resume=/var/cache/swapfile' to the kernel line of the Hardy entry and it just remained there allthough I had never recreated the swap file in later installations. I never thought this was a problem, but if I remove this option, Hardy is booting just fine.
So everything is working now for me, sorry for the noise.
