None of the suggestions I found worked, and I dare to say the same goes for the major part of others with their problems as well. May be it's time to stop with trying to solve each individual problem, usually without any success as I followed the discussions, but go back to "point zero" and fix this horrible bug. FYI: I noticed that mounting USB Mass Storage worked on earlier releases.
