If your USB controller is using IRQ 11 it could be a problem.

Maybe you can reassign it from within the BIOS, or try some linux kernel boot parameters to change IRQ assignment.

That is the problem with an Acer Aspire, I guess: I cannot make these kind of choices in the BIOS, it does not even show a list of IRQs.
I reckon that is what is meant by "designed for MS Windows": Nothing else will work. ;-)
Even if I could change sth. in the Bios though, it still would be strange that I have the USB-Stick under some other Live-Distros than DSL.
About the cheatcodes: Do you have sth. particular in mind?
Thanks anyway so far.
