This may be too soon to draw conclusions, but I've changed three things on my system since my last comment and I now it shuts down properly more often than not (ie. only every one of ten or so shutdown attempts fails instead of the other way around). These changes are: - I moved my system from a single disk to two mirrored ones. (I guess this doesn't have any influence whatsoever) - I enabled the vesafb framebuffer driver instead of the crappy default one (which produced ugly fonts and flickering on my TFT in text mode) - I disabled usplash.
Maybe a few people could try the vesafb driver and disable usplash and see whether things improve for them. My kernel command line is as follows: root=/dev/md_d0p1 ro raid=part vga=0x305 video=vesafb:ypan,mtrr:3,vremap:4 acpi=power-off quiet -- Power down after shutdown does not work... https://launchpad.net/bugs/43961 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
