Comment 277 for bug 274995

Yes I do have the export:

# grep PULSE_I /etc/init.d/alsa-utils
export PULSE_INTERNAL=0

Even with /etc/hosts line shutdown still hangs on a text screen with a blinking cursor at the top left.

I looked at the logs and it looks like during boot there are some issues with the kernel I didn't see with 8.04.

Nothing in the logs during shutdown though.

Any idea?
