Thanks!  Before I will start to worry about that I will have
to get some sane clock and interrupts as otherwise this is a show
stopper.  I am busy with other things at the moment but I hoped that
somebody may have some relevant experience/ideas/hints.

As a matter of fact I wanted to see how anaconda is doing here
anyway.  Restoring the previous state is for me not really that big
deal.  I do not want to keep this laptop on F8.  If I could not get
it to behave then trying F9 would be an option although I would
prefer to avoid that if possible.
