Cannot boot Surface Pro 4 When Dock Plugged in

I have a Surface Pro 4 I have been using with Arch installed for about a year and I'm just today ran into some new problems when I bought a Surface Dock. When I plug the dock in with nothing plugged into it except for power, Arch boot straight into the emergency console. There don't seem to be any obvious errors in the boot process that I can identify.  I'm not sure if I'm missing some drivers that are causing the issue.

When plugging the dock in and checking dmesg I get the following output:

[ 6334.903287] usb 2-2: new SuperSpeed USB device number 3 using xhci_hcd

Upon looking up the different codes and things I haven't been able to find anything out that would let me know why my system isn't booting. Everything boots fine when the dock is not plugged in. Are there any steps I can take to figure out what might be causing the error? I haven't been able to find anyone else using the Surface Pro 4 dock with Linux who are having the same problem.

Re: Cannot boot Surface Pro 4 When Dock Plugged in

Paste your boot loader/manager config and the output of `blkid`.

Moving to NC...

Paste your boot loader/manager config and the output of `blkid`.

Moving to NC...

/boot/loader/loader.conf

/boot/loader/entries/Switchblade.conf

title		Switchblade (Arch Linux)

initrd		/intel-ucode.img

My zfs configuration.

`blkid` with the dock unplugged, do you want it plugged in?
