I've been tinkering with 5.1 (-current) for a while now, ever since it was released. I checked out code and recompiled my kernel as late as yesterday evening. Since the install, I have encountered a few problems that I'd like to discuss:
- When my machine is docked, I *have to* enable ACPI, otherwise it will not boot past 'Mounting root from ufs:/dev/ad0s1a' (and the following WARNING about / not being unmounted cleanly, if the next point happened to be true)
- When booted with ACPI enabled (docked), the machine will at some point simply power itself off. I have seen people complaining about similiar machines powering themselves *on* after a power-off, but in my case it's the opposite. Out of nothing, with no warning (that I can see), it simply powers off. It's not suspend either, or hibernation or anything.
- I have not been able to reproduce any of these problems while the machine is undocked. In fact, it seems to work pretty well both on battery power and while plugged in - it's only while it's docked I'm having these problems. They are consistent and effectively keep me from using the computer while docked.
If anyone wants to look more into this, I'll be happy to provide whatever information is necessary. Please let me know. The system is running at the latest firmware level. There are no 'firmwares' for the docking station, so there is nothing I can do there.
