Since this is becoming more an IDE/ATA issue, I added linux-ide@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx to CC. I hope that's the right mailinglist.

The docking station has an ultrabay slot where I currently have a cdrom drive (since the notebook itself doesn't have any cdrom drive. Once I took the cdrom drive out, I was able to successfully perform what I wanted to do in points 3a and 5! The 'undock' button probably doesn't tell the kernel that it should unload the cdrom driver. Even though after pressing the undock button the drive becomes unusable (the green led that is on the side of the ultrabay disables and it's impossible to open the tray). Though pressing the undock button causes the usb ports to be removed from the kernel, at least that's what dmesg suggests (I put the notebook into the dock, waited a bit and then pressed the undock button): usb 1-4: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 11 usb 1-4: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice hub 1-4:1.0: USB hub found hub 1-4:1.0: 4 ports detected ACPI: \_SB_.GDCK - docking ACPI: \_SB_.GDCK - undocking usb 1-4: USB disconnect, address 11 The notebook+dock+STR works as long as the notebook doesn't know about the ultrabay device. That can be because the notebook was started outside of the docking station, or inside the docking station but with the ultrabay removed. But once the notebook sees the ultrabay device it's over. As little as one suspend/resume cycle inside the docking station and with a ultrabay device plugged in is enough to make the kernel (partially) recognize the device - the kernel doesn't recognize the device as a cdrom drive, but only as an UDMA/33 device. After one suspend/resume cycle I see this in dmesg: ata4.00: ACPI cmd ef/03:45:00:00:00:a0 failed (Emask=0x1 Stat=0x51 Err=0x04) ata4: failed to recover some devices, retrying in 5 secs Coming out of suspend... [... snip ...] ata4.00: ACPI cmd ef/03:45:00:00:00:a0 failed (Emask=0x1 Stat=0x51 Err=0x04) ata4.00: ACPI on devcfg failed the second time, disabling (errno=-5) ata4.00: revalidation failed (errno=1) ata4: failed to recover some devices, retrying in 5 secs ata4.00: configured for UDMA/33 And after that I can't resume outside of the docking station. So the description of point 3 was incomplete, sorry about that. At least the two failures 3a and 5 can be explained... tom - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
