So, here is a patch which will fix the bug.  The problem that I found
after I fixed the bug occurs in this circumstance:
1.  boot in ultrabase
2.  undock

But not in this case:
1.  boot outside base
2.  dock/undock etc.

The symptom of the problem is that you will undock and your machine will
get a softlockup on a CPU and just hang.  Checking the log file (when
possible) shows lots errors from hdc: and ide: (this ultrabase has a
cdrom on it which would be hdc).  I am using an x40 to duplicate the
issue, so you may have a different experience than I do.  The problem
seems to be that the cdrom that is on the ultrabase is not unplugging
gracefully.  I may have to hook up with whoever is working on the ide
hotplug and see if this is something I can fix.

Incidentally, the reason it works fine when you boot outside the base
and then dock/undock is because the cdrom is also not getting properly
inserted.  So, it appears to power it on, but it is not actually being
hotplugged.

anyway, this bug fix is needed either way... Andrew can you apply it?

Thanks,
Kristen


Properly use return value from acpi_get_device
