Bug Description
Binary package hint: linux-image-
The PC does not shut off and i have to push and hold the power button for >4 seconds.
For hibernate (that basically works) it displays the message to power down in text mode. For normal shutdowns, it displays the ubuntu logo and progress bar.
I have installed the AMD64 version of Feisty on a Intel Core 2 Duo system. uname -a:
Linux XXX 2.6.20-14-generic #2 SMP Mon Apr 2 16:32:46 UTC 2007 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I'm seeing exactly the same problem, on Feisty with the 2.6.20-15-generic kernel (running SMP), on a Dell Precision 620 (dual Pentium III). After a fresh Feisty install it seemed to shutdown/reboot fine about 4-5 times, but now it's freezing at the "sending all processes the KILL signal" point. I've left it in this state for hours, and it gets no further, and I eventually have to reboot or do a hard shutdown (and upon reboot my ReiserFS partitions need their journals replaying).
Prior to re-installing Feisty, my machine got progressively less reliable with these hard power-downs, to the point where I couldn't boot up without having to run fsck manually from the super user mode.
I'd be very keen to see this fixed, or at least discover a suitable workaround in the meantime. I hate having to hard power-down every time I use the machine.
