Hi Jordi, I saw the path upstream. I am on a conference this week, so I'm not sure I will have time to follow up right now (but maybe).

It should be okay to test this with a LiveCD. I use a USB stick, so I don't have to burn CDs all the time. It also faster, since a CD is quite slow to read. With the USB Creator utility it is also really easy. I seems to be in intrepid and up by default, but has also been backported to hardy: http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy-backports/usb-creator . With a USB stick with 2 GB or above, it could be useful to allow persistent storage. That should allow you to upgrade some packages and they will still be there the next time you boot.

The latest patch will dump all driver registers to the log file before and after the load detection, and I hope that it should be enough for Ling to find out what is going wrong. Both you and I, and probably also Ling, has put so much time into getting this fixed that it would be a shame if it wasn't fixed.
