Comment # 9 on bug 1028966 from Richard Palethorpe

I am now on kernel 4.10.5 with the same laptop and port replicator.

My problem is different to Mr Brown's, if I have the USB-C (Thunderbolt?) port
replicator plugged in at boot the laptop freezes once it reaches the login
screen. The Caps Lock key starts slowly pulsating, then after a while it
restarts. There is no Ooops message in the kernel log.

If I leave the replicator unplugged until the laptop has completed booting up
then plug it in, there is no crash, however it seems the laptop's keyboard and
trackpad then stop working.

Occasionally the ethernet device stops working and disappears.

I will upload the log of a boot which froze and one which did not.
