tfw your laptop needs an uninterruptible power source... ... because of the Thunderbolt eGPU you have plugged into it i have not expected this.

to be fair to Linux, I believe the kernel interface *does* allow handling this, the proprietary nVidia driver doesn't seem to have any way to handle hot-unplug-while-in-use as it gets stuck in some lock… not that I complain, normal hot-unplug is hard enough and that works well

Yeeeah.. PCIe hotplugging works for some devices (e.g. ExpressCard USB and FireWire cards), but good luck getting Nvidia's giant turd of a kernel driver to cooperate with that.

no, it works completely IF nothing actually uses the GPU. I actually never got radeon to work with this Thunderbolt box.

Sure, I mean it works fine with USB/FW cards that are in use too. How does radeon not work? Hardware or software issues?

If your BIOS has reserved memory ranges and PCI bus numbers for it! Booting with the device plugged in helps but otherwise you’re at the mercy of the BIOS devs

nope, this laptop doesn't even *start* POST with *any* card plugged into Thunderbolt. just blinks some weird morse sequence via power LED.
