I've installed UBUNTU 6.06 in a dual boot system on my IBM T30 laptop.

It boots up just fine when the computer is alone, but when it is plugged into the IBM 'tray' at work it hangs up early in the boot process:

loading essential drivers
mount ing root file system
waiting for root file system
.... hangs up here

Any ideas of what's going on and how to solve?

I should have mentioned that this is a "docking system", a model 2631 and it was working fine under Fedora core 3.

Same problem here.
i have a ibm thinkpad X31 and the dockII.
BTW, the docking station has a PCI graphics card.(ATI Radeon 9250).
That should not be the problem as i do get graphics at boot.
it just fails to boot with the same error message as you.
