chris, thanks for your input. Please note my first description where it mentions that -K worked with Oneiric (on same hardware of course; used the laptop for testing Oneiric and Precise - fresh installations). Please note that REISUB worked, otherwise I couldn't follow the output from sreen and reboot. Please read the log file of #3 which indicates REISUB: Jan 5 17:02:00 kernel: [ 1427.826332] Loglevel set to 5 Jan 5 17:02:01 kernel: [ 1429.050898] SysRq : Emergency Sync Jan 5 17:02:01 kernel: [ 1429.057291] Emergency Sync complete
I'll attach kern.log from current Precise which indicates a bit different with Alt+FN+Print+K (which still doesn't work) and afterwards magic REISUB (which still works): ....
