That's a good point. I will do that.

I reseted the BIOS to the factory default. But I will play again with the
setting.
Maybe Shuttle can deliver me a newer version. Compared to the newest BIOS
on their homepage I already have the newest version.

Ah yes, that was a former question if you meant a memory stick or a
ethernet stick. I will download the newest kernel and try to install it.
Otherwise I will try a live CD. Which one would be the best?

I posted that bug. I will post the dmesg and ifconfig logs there.
But I have no clue how to run this apport-collect 880316 command Brad
mentioned in post #2. But maybe I can install Ubunt server version and
run the command there. Or maybe it's possible to switch to a terminal
with Ctrl+Alt+F2 like during the Debian installation.
Thanks a lot for your help!
Best regards
