Created attachment 25623 [details] ACPI dump of Thinkpad T42 The USB ports in the Thinkpad Dock or Dock II are only recognised if the laptop is booted whilst docked (you can undock and re-dock and they're still recognised), or if the kernel is booted with acpi_os_name="Microsoft Windows" (which breaks the first dock/undock attempt). Platform: IBM Thinkpad T42.
please attach the dmesg output when 1. boot the system docked, and then undock and re-dock it. 2. boot the system undocked and dock it BTW: please verify if this is a duplicate of bug #15521.
This is not a duplicate of bug #15521. The undock button works -- that was fixed for me in bug #15000.
please attach the dmesg output mentioned in comment #1.
Created attachment 25657 [details] dmesg output: boot up docked, undock, then dock again.
Created attachment 25658 [details] dmesg output: boot up undocked, then dock.
please attach the lspci output in both cases.
ping...
please re-open the bug if you can provide the info requested in comment #6
