nothing, disk is not discovered.

in such a case the disk is discovered.

If I keep the disk in while unplugging, the dmesg says:

here I plugged the disk back.

If I unplug the disk first, there are no messages about USB hub just after
ACPI docking message.

If I remember correctly, in 2.6.26-rc2 you fixed it as I reported the problem.
2.6.26-rc5 does not work (behaviour is the same as rc8). The others, I do not
know. If it is really useful, I could try it but I do not have those kernels.
