Comment 18 for bug 544139

Hendrik, all,

('DD' and 'Damien' are the same person ;-)

Is the power-off behaviour your only problem? Can you still perform admin tasks and have sound when your problem occurs? If the answer is yes then it is likely a different issue, at least partly. But I think there's quite a few bugs related to the same problem; the cause may be the same.

BTW, is there any way to ditch the new 'fast' boot process of ubuntu? It's not really stable at the moment, to say the least. If we could go back to a classic sequential boot sequence it may just solve all these problems.
