+			<p>
+				A user reported issues when booting with a docking station attached
+				on an X200, when decrypting the disk in GRUB. The error
+				<i>AHCI transfer timed out</i> was observed. The workaround
+				was to remove the docking station.
+			</p>
+
+			<p>
+				Further investigation revealed that it was the DVD drive causing problems.
+				Removing that worked around the issue.
