Kernel oops during shutdown process

[Sergey Chebotar]

Binary package hint: fglrx

Acer 5542G notebook, fresh natty installation, proprietary fglrx driver installed.
Sometimes system freezes during shutdown. Purple screen with no reaction on any key, just hard reset.
I removed quiet splash from grub config and there are few lines in the end marked "RIP" and "fglrx", so i can assume it's fglrx issue.

So, there is an kernel oops. This is a picture of it i made

Please request any sys logs. I don't know what to attach to bug like this.

Hi Sergey.
Same problem here, using a RADEON HD5870.

Hi Mike, thank you.
Downgraded to LTS because of this oops, system overheating and video lags. Definetly this driver doesn't work well.

Same problem here using fglrx on HD4870: the system sometime is not shutting down.
I did not found lag and overheat problems for now.

Thanks

Sometimes system reboots instead of power off, and sometimes i must do Ctrl+Alt+Del to shutdown.
By the way, nvidia driver isn't better. On my other system are many problems caused by nvidia driver.

After a few testing I did it seems that logging out the current session and shutting down the computer from the log on screen workarounds the problem.
Not very handy but better than a Kernel Panic ;)

Logging out and shutting down doesn't work for me properly. Sometimes it works, sometimes system freezes and sometimes system restarts instead of power down.
We have to wait for new fglrx.

Hi.
"sudo poweroff" in terminal works without freezing, kernel panic or rebooting.
Best regards

Hi.
"sudo poweroff" in terminal doesn't work 100 percent properly. Every third poweroff causes a kernel panic.
We really need a new fglrx.

Hi.
Tried new driver 8.861. Driver doesn't solve the problem.
