Bug Description
This is a bit of an odd environment, but I've recently noticed that boot will occasionally hang just after "Checking battery state...". I don't know for sure it's /etc/acpi/power.sh that's hanging, but that seems like the most likely culprit.
This is an up-to-date 12.10 guest running in VMware Fusion 5.0.1 (825449) on OS X 10.6.8. I've disabled the splash screen so I can watch the boot process. ctrl-C (and other keystrokes) seems to be echoed back to the console, but has no effect.
When I send ctrl-alt-delete (via the VMware "Virtual Machine" menu item), I see "acpid exiting" and the machine shuts down and reboots. It usually successfully reboots after this, but not always.
I suppose not surprisingly, this seems related to power status pass-through. If you go to VMware's settings-

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https:/ /wiki.ubuntu. com/KernelMainl ineBuilds . Please test the latest v3.6 kernel[0] (Not a kernel in the daily directory) and install both the linux-image and linux-image-extra .deb packages.
Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs- upstream- testing' tag. Please only remove that one tag and leave the other tags. 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 in the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel- fixed-upstream' .
If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel- bug-exists- upstream' .
If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, please add the tag: 'kernel- unable- to-test- upstream' .
Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed".
Thanks in advance.
