Comment 50 for bug 119308

Hi All,

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/ , You should be able to test via the LiveCD. If this issue still persists, please open a separate bug report for your 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.

If the original bug reporter, jerrylamos, can comment here if the newer Hardy release resolves the issue or not, that would be great. Thanks.
