You can get a few logs concatenated at
http://webserver.djo.tudelft.nl/insane488.logs

Usually the oops follows immediately after inserting the modem, but in one case
it took a few seconds extra before the oops. I think that is the one that
printed the full range of checkpoints.

On another 3 machines running 4.9-rc5 here  everything went fine on insertion.
Switching back to 4.8.8 produced the bug with outputs similar to the above.

Now back to the laptops to see if I can get confirmation of having seen the
oops at 4.9-rc5 in some way. I'm not sure now. 


Regards, Wim.
