Thanks Ralf, thanks Len! I think, I solved the problem - although I don't know what went wrong... Added "rtc" (really don't know, why I ever removed it from the list?!?), "hdsp" and "firewire" ('cause sometimes I use a Bebop- Device). I removed "snd" and "usb". Now, everything is on it's place: I got the rtc back on priority 90, the hdsp is on 85, firewire 80 and both the i8042 - which caused temporary freezes because they also weren't touched by rtirq - has 75 and 74. Guess, this will work much better! I rebooted twice before I wrote this mail, to make sure it's not a timing issue. Still, I can't really say what was going on. Maybe the hda- and usb-stuff blocked other devices from being reprioritised or they were simply too many. There is just one thing to do: Add the firewire-device, once I plug it. I forgot the exact name of the module... Greets!
