[solved] Kernel panic (?) when closing lid or undocking thinkpad t61p

Hello,

I have a thinkpad t61p connected to the advanced mini-dock. I also have an external monitor connected to the DVI port. When I press the "Eject request" button on the dock, the green led starts to blink and then stops blinking. After this the laptop is totally freezed, with sound looping over and over again from the speakers.

Worth noting is that I can undock with no problems from the console (no X server running). This seems to indicate that this is an issue with the nvidia drivers?
This seems also be the case with the laptop freezing when I close the lid while X is running.

I'm running 2.6.30.6-1 kernel and nvidia 185.18.36-1.

Any ideas what's causing this? Should I report this to nvidia, lenovo or ... ?

Is suspend/hibernate working on your laptop? I had similar symptoms with a laptop using an ATI card during suspend/hibernate and all that problems were related to the video driver. Did you already look on http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/ThinkWiki for a solution/explanation?

I haven't got around to get that working yet. It's been a real pain with my previous systems so I've just learned to live without suspend/hibernate.

Thanks for the link. Nothing seems to be related to the T61 models though.

I installed nvidia 190.42-1 and Xorg server 1.7.1-1 tonight and everything works flawlessly! Supend/resume, hibernate, closing LID, hot docking, you name it!

I am so happy now I could cry smile
