I am experiencing a similar problem. Shutdown/reboot start the process then it just goes to a flashing cursor but does not turn the machine off or reboot it. Have tried removing splash from menu.lst and it make no difference except when I attempt shutdown/reboot the last text I see is:
mount: / is busy * Will now halt Then the cursor just hangs there until I press the off button. Kernel log, syslog and Dmesg show nothing unusual (as far as I can tell). The problem only occurs when using Gnome. If I boot to the recovery kernel (no GUI) then issue the shutdown command it exits and powers off as it is supposed to. -- Jaunty x86-64 hangs on shutdown https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/332772 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
