Hello Andreas,

I have already played around with this settings in March,
but it didn't work.

(By the way: You can check your scheduler with the
following command:
cat /var/log/boot.msg|grep -i "scheduler" )

But I still have my bookmarks from these trial & error
sessions, so maybe I can give you some interesting links.

I think, I've also written some other links on paper, but
these are partially in German.

Best regards
Markus
