ASPM: Could not configure common clock



Hello,

i installed Debian testing from the netinst iso onto a Lenovo W530 laptop.
When booting the machine when it is attached to its docking station with closed display, i very often get the kernel message

ASPM: Could not configure common clock

and then the boot process hangs.
When i reboot with the opened display but still connected to the docking station, it boots successfully more often. And i never experienced this message and a hung boot process when the laptop is not attached to the docking station.

kernel: Linux laptop 4.5.0-2-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.5.4-1 (2016-05-16) x86_64 GNU/Linux

I also tried the stable dist which has a 3.16 kernel (iirc), but then the boot process hung after the following message:

thinkpad_acpi: unsupported brighten interface, please contaxt ibm-acpi-devel@sf.net

I think it is not the common clock which is the problem, but how can i find out what is really the problem?

Thanks in advance
Joysn
