ASUS K53SV won't reboot, shutdown or suspend on 14.10

[Andrew Vavilov]

After I've updated ubuntu to Utopic on my laptop (Asus K53SV) I can't shutdown, reboot or suspend. System just hangs on "Will now halt" or "Will now reboot". Different combinations of kernel params "acpi=force", "acpi=off" etc didn't help.

I've also tried to boot from liveUSB(14.10) with the same result.

After some investigation I found that shutdown, reboot etc actually works with kernel 3.13 from previous ubuntu version, but not with kernel 3.16(default) or 3.18 so it is quite definitely a kernel bug.

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v3.19 kernel[0].

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.
