Hi,

i finally got rid of both problems :))

after recompiling the kernel and eliminating some 
ballast i finally ended up with a kernel that 
a. solves the powerup issue and
b. made usb work great

i know that this is not a real solution but more or less sheer luck, but
anyway i'm completely happy now
thx for your assistance

Gerald

PS:
if anyone thinks my kernel configuration could be helpful for bug #1971
and #2469 let me know...
