Hi,

here is the output you asked for. Actually I managed to get everything 
working as expected on my computer at home which has a similar CPU, so I 
am going to repeat all the steps on this server and hope for the best. I 
guess there is some issue with the Debian packages, although I don't 
have a clue what it is.

Thanks a lot again for looking into this

Ralph
