I'm open to suggestions as to a suggested "fix" for this, the only one I can think of is probe-for-root-fs.
You can mount your root filesystem using
root=
And that will work whether your docking station is connected or not, because it uses a charactaristic of the drive to locate it, rather than an enumerated location.
This has always been our long term plan anyway, for everybody in every situation -- as it makes us resilient to any hardware change.
Given the topography of the docked T42, the only other solution would be to blacklist the docking station IDE controller; that's a common one, so that can't be a solution in the distribution -- and not to mention people may actually want to boot off one!
