Comment 4 for bug 68064

It seems that this problem is due to improper shutdown (halt). If I kill (by
pushing the power button for 5 secs) the laptop (HP nx6325) boots up a lot
faster (it doesn't waste so much time 'till grub appears) and the battery
status is updated.
Without "killing" at boot time, there is also an audio problem when plugging
in earphones, the speakers are not muted.
