dock problem - Dell Latitude+2.6.18-rc2

Hi,
I've got one Dell Latitude D505 with a dock-station, like this:
http://laptoptravel.com/product.aspx?pc=DELLDPORT&V=DT

Today I've built 2.6.18-rc2 kernel with dock module.
When I pushed "undock-request" button the following has happend:

1. Total system freeze for sth. like 20 seconds (no response, no sound, no 
keyboard, no nothing). During that time "undock" LED was blinking.

2. After that system started to "work" again. But cpu usage jumped to 100% 
and /var/log/messages was flooded with this:

Jul 18 09:49:15 localhost kernel: [  360.996000] ACPI Exception
</quote>

3. To reboot I had to push power button for 3 seconds (simple powerdown didn't 
work).


If I can provide any additional informations, or to test something - please 
let me know.

By the way: this kernel for me is the first one with dock module.
Some time ago I just pushed the "undock-request" button to see what happens. 
And of course nothing has happened. "undock" LED has blinked several times 
and everything returned to normal state. Without any issues, without any 
messages in /var/log/* files.

Regards,

Hi!  Can you please run an experiment in which you boot your laptop
undocked, and then dock and then try undocking again and let me know
if you still encounter the problem.  Also, can you send me your
acpi dsdt table, as well as the output of lspci -vv with your laptop
booted in the dock station, and also with it booted outside of the
dock station.  I'd also like a copy of your dmesg output from your 
laptop when you boot docked, as well as when you boot undocked.

I am travelling this week and will probably not be available to 
work on this problem till next week, but if in the meantime you can
collect this information that would be helpful. 

Thank you,
Kristen

Sure, I'll do it tomorrow, 'cause I don't have it here.

I've tried this, with no success. The result was the same as previously with 
small exception: something appeared in /var/log/acpid (see link below)

All done.
Requested logs and dumps are here:
http://rmrmg.com/jaroslav/acpi-dock/2.6.18-rc2-20060719/

(with some explanations of how they were collected, hope I did it correctly).

Of course. If there's something more I can do, I'll do my best.
