Ok. Probably better denoted as "workaround"?

Yes, of course, in both cases.
I attached the dmesg output (is that the log you need? I'm sorry if
that is the wrong one, or do you mean /log/kern.log?) for the second
case (new install) *with* the change. All other infos for this machine
are in #633343, if you need more do not hesitate to ask and I can
provide them.
Right now (due to the upgraded machine beeing my main machine and the
new one suffering #633343) it is a little difficult to reboot the
upgraded machine into a Debian kernel, but if that helps I can later
do that as well and provide you with the log(s) you require.
Thanks for your very fast response!
Greetings
Helge
