 Good question...  :-)
 
 I'll try to investigate this question, but this isn't that easy to do,
 as the Laptop which shows the problem has only 4 MiB[1] of RAM so trying
 to boot a recent standard GENERIC kernel (which is about 10 MiB) is no
 option.
 
 So I'll have to try to build an _small_ kernel, including PCI support to
 test if the problem still shows up.
 
 I'm willing to do so[2] -- but it will take some time.  Does it make
 any sense trying to get 5.0.1 running on this old system or should I try
 some older version?  (which?)
 
 cheers

 [1]  Yes, this about one thousandth of what people carry around in there
      notebooks nowadays...  :-/
 [2]  though I'm a bit hesitating to risk the destruction of my currently
      installed system
