OK I have an Acer Revo which nobody is talking about, but these hang on 10.04 and 10.10 (and presumably later, but upgrades haven't had the problem reoccurring). This problem was caused by the wifi driver. The resolution was to add "blacklist rt2800pci" to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf I have no idea if that will solve your problem, but as with my issue, it might not be a shutdown bug. -- Regards, Andy
