Hi Beyil

Thanks for the report. It is something we need to deal with.

I'm not sure this is a "crash" as such I think it's just the power management code in the kernel isn't able to power off the system in the usual way. For now we can do exactly as you've suggested and just press and hold the power button to switch it off.

I've updated the bug title to reflect this I hope you don't mind.

With regards to bug 107115 - I think that is a special case as it is linked to usage of binary-only proprietary drivers, something we are not doing on the PS3 therefore I think it is unrelated.

Not being able to power off can be a generic problem - as you see the same issue on your PC. It may as yet prove not to be PS3 specific. We will need to do some further investigation to decide if this needs a general fix or not.

Cheers
