[Grml] Re: Please test 1.0rc2 usb

Of course.  But this is 1.0.  The bug was reported under 0.9-7 some
while ago and re-tested under 1.0rc2.  Furthermore it has been reported
in the distant past (similar behavior in old grml dev releases).  So, I
did my part as a grml beta tester.

Evidence of that claim would be welome, hence my call for testers.  It's
seriously doubtful.  Kernel guys were having problems not long ago with
various other hardware over the same config flag you mentioned.

The flag is still considered experimental among the Linux devs? 
Yesterday/today was the first time grml mentioned it to us...too bad, we
might have helped debug a little more.

Sure, but then grml repo .debs don't match the kernel version, etc. 
These very same headaches are just pushed to users:

If the one config flag is the cause, still TBD, then the fix means
changing one experimental/broken flag from Y to N.  Since other linuxes
are using 'N' that seems a safer setting.  If only grml is using 'Y'
then what are grml linux folks doing that needs 'Y' while the other
linuxes manage with 'N'?
