What do you mean by text mode e.g. removing splash= as a boot option (e.g. in /boot/grub/menu.lst). This would remove the picture at boot time, but it should not be necessary as

I tried with around 5-6 t60p laptops here and everyone of them hung (with 11.0 live dvd and 11.1 installation). So, I guess it should be fairly easy to reproduce. Please note that I am using a full-featured docking station with pci interface etc. (not a simple port replicator) Hmm all the same models, I expect?
Some ideas: Does it work if you unload the ac driver? Does it work if you unload the thinkpad_acpi driver? Hmm better it doesn't get loaded at all: "blacklist thinkpad_acpi" entry in /etc/modprobe.conf.local should do the trick. Holger, AFAIK the dock event is used to undock disks, how could Sankar try this out explicitly? In normal configuration (without above ideas), try: Copy away previous system logs first: mv /var/log/messages /var/log/messages.bak rcsyslog restart echo 0x21F >/sys/module/acpi/parameters/debug_level tail -f /var/log/message Now let the machine freeze. Hopefully all data could still be saved to disk (you may want to compare the output you see and the output written to disk later), then reboot and last successfully processed ACPI code should pop up in /var/log/messages? This can be a lot, please attach all. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
