Make sure you disable the (obsolete?) ACPI_IBM_DOCK stuff.

Yeah, I'm hoping all the work on power management in libata will make 
things "just work" soon, but I think there's more to it.  When you press 
the dock eject button, it really needs to go out to acpid, activate a 
script to unmount any filesystems mounted off the device, and then poke 
the ata layer to remove the device, before OKing the dock eject so the 
hardware's "don't do that" light goes out.

But in the meantime I'm having enough trouble getting plain old 
suspend/resume reliable.
