Hmm... I think this is the same kernel as with MS4.1 where it worked?

I will try this reboot-trick too.

Hmm... and me being rather a kernel guy puts me in the unlucky position
to have that ball in my court now ;)
OK - I guess you should know best if this would be a FSO or app thing so
I will try to dig out the kernel sources and fiddle with them.

Many thanks to all for all the pointers!


PS: On a slightly realted topic I also played a bit with the suspend
times on GTA01 - it is actually not *that* bad and theoretically it
should survive 24h even with some usage. Strangely some days this works
perfectly well with ~30% battery loss within 12h but some days it does
not even survive 6h. And yes, latest modem firmware, latest uboot and
the transistor too many removed.
