Thanks Thomas, good idea. I'll see whether I can find the difference in dmesg and will search for/file a bug then. Besides the one error message in dmesg I already know (wifi chip doesn't work in DMA mode) there are some more lines that I don't understand: pcie_pme: probe of 0000:00:1c.0:pcie01 failed with error -13 pcie_pme: probe of 0000:00:1c.1:pcie01 failed with error -13 pcie_pme: probe of 0000:00:1c.2:pcie01 failed with error -13 PM: Error -22 checking image file I don't have the slightest idea whether they are related to my problem, I'll do the comparison when I get the chance. -- Regards, Philipp -- "Wir stehen selbst enttäuscht und sehn betroffen / Den Vorhang zu und alle Fragen offen."
