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.
