Hi linpin,

I suspect your bug is a duplicate of bug 63134, based on the chipset on your laptop (it's VIA, right?). I'm not sure, so I'm not marking this duplicate yet.

Can you take a look at bug 63134 and see if the error you get is the same as in the screenshot? Specifically, does your panic message include the "quirk_via_abnormal_poweroff" line? If it does, please mark this as a duplicate of 63134.

The 18 month support period for Edgy Eft 6.10 has reached its end of life. As a result, we are closing the linux-source-2.6.17 Edgy Eft kernel task. However, development has already began for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. It would be helpful if you could test the upcoming release and verify if this is still an issue - http://www.ubuntu.com/testing . If the issue still exists, please update this report by changing the Status of the "linux" task from "Incomplete" to "New". We appreciate your patience and understanding as we make this transition. Thanks!
