Now, after further investigation, it seems reverting the pci-init-ordering-=
fix=20
is not necessary... I simply had to switch off ACPI (for example with the=20
'acpi=3Doff' kernel parameter).

I recognized it because the changed kernel had the problems again if i star=
ted=20
it with 'pci=3Dnoacpi', but not with 'acpi=3Doff'. So I tried the original =
=2Dmm8=20
kernel with this option and... IT WORKS!

So perhaps it is better to leave this patch in the -mm tree and fix ACPI=20
(which does not work for me anyway).
