failure to reboot/shutdown due to heci module...

[Daniel J Blueman]

Binary package hint: linux-image

I'm finding that the heci module is preventing rebooting and shutting down via sysctl-R or sysctl-B on my platform. Maybe this isn't important, but since network manager brings the ethernet interface down before the NFSv4 homedir mount is unmounted, this is the only way to get past the hang.

Adding 'blacklist heci' to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf resolves this perfectly.

System is Lenovo Thinkpad T400, BIOS 2.12 2009-03-13. Kernel is 2.6.30-10-generic x86-64 on stock Ubuntu 9.04 jaunty install, with all updates.

This bug was reported against the linux-meta package when it likely should have been reported against the linux package instead. We are automatically transitioning this to the linux kernel package so that the appropriate teams are notified and made aware of this issue.

If this bug really is a bug in the linux-meta package you can move it back to linux-meta and set the Status to Confirmed, or contact us on the #ubuntu-kernel channel on the FreeNode IRC server. Thanks.

Hi Daniel,

This bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? Can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ .

If it remains an issue, could you run the following command from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.

apport-collect -p linux 399986

Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

Thanks in advance.

This bug is no longer an issue, thus can be closed and was fixed upstream in the linux kernel.
