Bug#954081: MX19.1 Live fails similar to Debian 10.3 Live on Acer A515-43 laptop

[Mike Haag <mhaag@nycap.rr.com>]

Thanks for the suggestion to try MX19. It does look like an interesting 
distribution, and currently leads the page hit rankings on DistroWatch. 
Unfortunately, it didn't work on the Acer laptop.

I first verified the image, then successfully tested the USB on my 
desktop machine. Sadly, on the Acer laptop, it fails the same as the 
Debian live images: After several boot messages, the desktop environment 
(XFCE in this case) fails to load, and the machine freezes. The last two 
on-screen diagnostics are...

1. "Waiting for /dev to be fully populated...done (timeout)" [It takes
   two or three minutes for the trailing, "done (timeout)" part to appear.]
2. "Activating swap..."

Nothing else after about 10 minutes.

Thanks, Mike
