Comment 46 for bug 42160

The symptom of this particular bug, failure to power off when shutting down, is specific to the hardware and BIOS used. So while many of you may have the same symptom they really should be different bugs. It would be helpful if everyone were to test with a Hardy Alpha build, http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/ , and open a separate bug report for their hardware using "linux" as the package. The bug report should contain the information requested at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeamBugPolicies and the output of 'sudo dmidecode'. Additionally, it would be great if you made the titles of a new bug report contain information about either your motherboard or system. I apologize for any inconvenience this might cause but appreciate your cooperation and your helping to make Ubuntu better.
