Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . If possible, please test the latest release candidate kernel (Not a kernel in the daily directory). Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag(Only that one tag, please leave the others). 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.

If this bug is fixed by the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream-KERNEL-VERSION'. For example, if kernel version 3.1-rc9 fixed and issue, the tag would be: 'kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.1-rc9'.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'.

One other option would be to try a newer release, such as 11.04 or 11.10

This might be a duplicate of bug 833705 which was fixed in the Natty 11.04 and Oneiric 11.10 releases. If you don't want to upgrade to these newer versions, you might try the workaround of passing 'reboot=pci' as a kernel parameter.

I upgraded to 11.04 and reboot from the command line still doesn't work on
Latitude E6520. I found out Dell has a 10.10 ISO image. I will install
Dell's Ubuntu 10.10 over the weekend and see if that works.

Ali Ranjbar, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. Regarding your Bug Description:
>"I can't shut down the system except to power down through the power button... I also have a wireless chip on this laptop, but right now the wireless doesn't work..."

Please do not stack multiple issues into one report. Hence, this report will focus on the first issue mentioned. If you need a fix for another bug, please file a new report via the Terminal and feel free to subscribe me to it:
ubuntu-bug linux

As well, 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 <replace-with-bug-number>

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.
