 Because the X21 does not have room for a CDROM, one must plug it into the dock to perform a CD based install.  Early versions of the dock are known to have USB problems, which in turn cause Linux installation issues.  To work around this problem, read more at: [[Installing Ubuntu on a ThinkPad X21]]

 It doesn't matter whether a device is plugged into one of the two USB ports on the back of the dock.
-My original dock worked just fine. The problem only seems to exist with my new dock. I have tried various kernel versions through out the last few weeks. I will retest and will document my findings here. Is anybody else having similiar issues?
