Description Daniel Sentenac 2012-03-23 17:00:04 UTC

Description of problem:
On fedora 16, the system hangs at shutdown/reboot.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
fedora 16

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. shutdown / reboot / poweroff / init 0
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
The system freezes at very last step of corresponding sequence. The ultimate displayed message can be Shutting down / Rebooting / Powering Off.
The power is not effectively switched off, nor any reboot happens, depending of the requested sequence.

Expected results:
The system should power off or reboot depending of the requested sequence.

Additional info:
Two workarounds have been found which solve the problem:
1) Setting acpi=off in kernel options and removing iscsi and iscsid services. This is not acceptable since hyperthreading is desactivated in this way.
2) Removing the e1000 gigabit ethernet module before shutdown/reboot (adding a custom runonshutdown.service) solves this issue.

Using HP Probook 6560b with cinnamon 1.4.0-5. After install new kernel the first shutdown / reeboot it works, the other no, in both kernel 3.4.2-1 or 3.1.0-7.
In booting no logo, but at first strange character on video, next all works fine until nest reboot/shutdown.
