Comment 32 for bug 60053

This was not an error with WiFi cards, since my computer is a regular
desktop and doesn't have one. It was connected with usplash, though.
After an update of that package it stopped hanging on boot, but would
segfault due to missing theme for my screen resolution (or something in
this direction, forgive me if my memory fails me).

A few updates of usplash later I no longer get the lockup during
shutdown, but usplash still doesn't work properly (doesn't update during
the boot sequence and the picture looks awful).

This doesn't sound like the problem the laptop users have, even if they
get the same symptoms. My guess is that this bug shouldn't have been
merged earlier, because the soft lockup issues seems to be resolved.
