2011-08-31 21:20:12 Achim Bohnet description [bug for model E6520 is https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/833705] When one tries to reboot the Dell Latitude E6220 with a 64 bit kernel from natty it hangs at the very end of the shutdown sequence. The console output is: ... ... * Will now restart [ xxxx.yyyyyy] Restarting system. Then nothing happens. One has to force power off. Sep 12th the E6520 will be back, then I can verify the patch given at http://people.canonical.com/~ogasawara/lp833705/ Achim [bug for model E6520 is https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/833705] When one tries to reboot the Dell Latitude E6220 with a 64 bit kernel from natty it hangs at the very end of the shutdown sequence.

Sep 12th the E6220 will be back, then I can verify the patch given at http://people.canonical.com/~ogasawara/lp833705/ Achim == SRU Justification == It's been reported that the Dell Latitude E6220 doesn't reboot unless using reboot=pci. The following patch resolves this issue and has been successfully tested. Upstream is unfortunately not accepting any additional quirk patches like this as they would prefer to migrate to a more systematic approach. Given that the patch is system specific (ie low risk of regression), precedence for similar quirk patches already existing, and having received positive test results, I feel it should be carried as a SAUCE patch until a more systematic approach can be found which upstream will accept. == Impact == Affects Dell Latitude E6220 models. == Test Case == Without the patch, those with a Dell Latitude E6220 must use reboot=pci as a workaround in order for the system to successfully reboot. With the patch applied, the work around is no longer needed. == Fix == http://people.canonical.com/~ogasawara/lp838402/0001-UBUNTU-SAUCE-x86-reboot-Make-Dell-Latitude-E6220-use.patch ---------- [bug for model E6520 is https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/833705] When one tries to reboot the Dell Latitude E6220 with a 64 bit kernel from natty it hangs at the very end of the shutdown sequence.
