Today I got a new powersupply, and now everything works. I got it on
my own as I didn't contact Soekris about it yet. Should anyone be
interested, the new one is:

   Nordic Power, model 04151V - 120150
   Input: AC 100-240V 50/60Hz 450mA
   Output: 12VDC 1.5A
   Part number 69-688-21 from ELFA, a major scandinavian electronics
   supplier: www.elfa.se
