I don't know what was going on here but now I downgraded my system to
[core] again each package one by one and the system booted every time
without a kernel panic. There was likely something broken but I can't
imagine what, maybe some file permissions have been change or some
files have been changed or deleted by whatever and these files were
overwritten by the reinstalling/updating. Probably a reinstall of the
involved package from [core] had been sufficient.
