Hi Reinhard,

I think you somehow misunderstood the first part of my message.

*You* mentioned that the screen goes black without the cam trick:

Then *I* tried to explain why the screen gets black (firmware bug):

BTW:
Please do *not* start a new thread by replying to another thread.
You broke the thread "Kernel panic: ...".
Use "New email" to create a *new* thread.
Use "Reply" to create a message *within* a thread.

If you enable "Ansicht|Aktuelle Ansicht|Nachrichten nach Thema sortieren"
you will see immediately what I mean and it will be easier to follow the 
threads.

Thx.
