Just adding a note that the patch @kahing was referencing is already in the Jaunty 2.6.28 kernel. I've pasted the git commit id below. @kahing, if you want to try a LiveUSB I recommend using usb-creator and the latest Alpha 5 image available at http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/jaunty/ . Definitely let us know your results if you test. Thanks.

    ACPI: dock: avoid check _STA method

    In some BIOSes, every _STA method call will send a notification again,
    this cause freeze. And in some BIOSes, it appears _STA should be called
    after _DCK. This tries to avoid calls _STA, and still keep the device
    present check.
