Did anyone consider the NEWSTRUCT driver might manipulate IRQ-routing?
Maybe even changing ACPI/APIC/NVRAM-information?

This would be the only possibility problems surviving a reboot with old
drivers.
IRQ/ACPI/APIC-problems could also cause the drop-outs mentioned in
"Picture dropouts with NEWSTRUCT".

Are you sure there were no zombies of the NEWSTRUCT-driver in your
root-partition?
