To be complete : I booted an archlinux 2009.02 (USB key based version), and I saw the same problem : shutdown cannot be completed :/
And it is based on a 2.6.28.5 (or 6) linux kernel. So, there was a bug introduced during 2.6.27 development time which block shutdown on some computer ! -- intrepid shutdown/restart hang on "acpid: exiting" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/302452 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
