To solve this problem I've created a simple install pack based on Markismus's excellent 1-Step-Hack. It contains the latest Koreader and CoolReader builds, and it installs and works fine on my Kobo Mini with firmware 2.6.1. After the first install updating to newer versions must be simple using the recent official Koreader an Coolreader (pbchess) install files. I hope it works on other Kobo devices too.

Install files: AltReader_CR1.2.6.3_KO529 (BE CAUTIOUS, IT'S TESTED ON KOBO MINI FW 2.6.1 ONLY!)
I'm sorry for this kind of issues, I have to revise the instructions on the first post and the installation process overall - it should be sufficient to manually copy koreader.png in the kobo before installing koreader. I'll move the image out of KoboRoot.tgz to simplify doing that, and I'll add a README to the nightly builds to avoid this kind of issue, as soon as suspend support is done.
