Sounds interesting. I will try that.

I have never used that feature before. As far as I understand, I have to mark the last known good revision good and the most recent bad. Then I try every version in between which has changef related code. Right?

Actually I don't have a last good version as I had the original QNAP fw installed before.

4.3, which I installed during my first try was bad and 4.4 did not fix it. What can I do now? Should I provide my complete kernel config file?
At the moment I am trying Ian Campbell's patch as suggested by Andrew.
