No, boot is on partition three. The partition table looks like this:
	start	    end    size	fstype
a:	    1	      4	  4	  boot
b:        5	     36      32	  swap
c:       37    2595    2559     ext2

And this is okay, because the Standard kernel 2.2.19 boots without
problems. So my conclusion is that aboot is well configured and the
problem is still by the self-compiled kernel.

see above.
