Well, I just found the source of my problems.

If I boot with the cradle plugged in, the following messages happen
during the boot:

For some weird reason, it sees the cradle as having two ports, gets
confused and unlinks both of them.

If I then unplug and replug the cradle back in, it finds one port and
everything works correctly.
