Bug Description
Hi - Running MythTV (0.21) on Ubuntu box (Hardy-64).
[ASUS P5LD2 SE - MB; E2140 - CPU; MSI - nvidea 7300LE - GPU; 4GB - Corsair PC2-5400 RAM; ]
Previously Gutsy-64 had no problems shutting the machine down using the following command, issued by MythWelcome.
sudo shutdown -P now
After upgrade to Hardy-64, the same command issued through MythWelcome occasionally causes the system to stop short of a full shutdown.
Tried changing the boot options to use nosplash and acpi=force, without success.
The shutdown sequence gets as far as spinning down the drives and then the last command seen is:-
[some long number] Power Down
with a blinking cursor underneath. The fans and MB, GPU etc are still powered up. Other occasions the shut down will complete properly!
Note this was a clean install of Gutsy-64, followed by an upgrade to Hardy-64.
The same command issued from the terminal also OCCASIONALLY falls short of complete shutdown.
Attached are results of:-
uname -a
cat /proc/version_
dmesg
sudo lspci -vvnn
sudo dmidecode

The problem persists after recent kernel & other associated upgrades/updates (2.6.24- 17-generic) .
The machine will also hang occasionally when trying to shutdown from the menu/button.
