Description U George 2011-04-02 16:31:46 UTC

Description of problem:
On an X11 shutdown, the screen goes blank, and the laptops fan kicks in. Nothing is responsive. The ssh connection from another machine also freezes.
I have tried the latest kernel, but still freezes. The desktop ( no X11 startup) appears ok.
Fedora 13, and 14 also failed at tail end when there is a request to submit hardware info. It failed to shutdown, as it left dirty filesystems.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.6.35.11-87.fc14.i686
2.6.35.6-45.fc14.i686

How reproducible:
very reproduceable. There are others like me on the fedora forum, but no solution yet

Steps to Reproduce:
1.bring up system ( init 3 )
2.start
3. shutdown
  
Actual results:
screen goes blank
nothing more

Expected results:


Additional info:

Filesystems are dirty.
on external system, via ssh, network stops also.

Comment 1 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-16 14:50:02 UTC

This message is a notice that Fedora 14 is now at end of life. Fedora 
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 14. It is 
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no 
longer maintained.  At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '14' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this 
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen 
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 14 reached end of life. If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on 
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that 
version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:
