Thanks, I've done that. My impression is that this message may be caused
by a lot of different problems, but what stands out somewhat are
problems with the 2-card setup (1 FF, 1 budget) I have.

I'll investigate that further by starting from a "minimum" configuration
up to the full setup including VDR.
