I do not know about Precise Pangolin because I am still using Lucid with all patches. It no longer occurs in lucid. Upgrade to linux- image-2.6.32-43-generic is in process. If it occurs again, I will update.

By default, the kernel (2.6.32-21-generic) seems to have KMS enabled, and as a result when I shutdown the machine (via halt or shutdown -hP or otherwise) it never powers off, just continues to show the Plymouth shutdown splash, though all HDD activity has ceased. When I add "radeon.modeset=0" to my grub command line, disabling KMS, I am able to shutdown just fine. I tried adding "modprobe -r radeon" to /etc/init.d/halt but when shutting down it prints a message that the module radeon is still in use, so it seems that when KMS is enabled it can't remove the module and hence is unable to poweroff. The problem still exists if I rename my xorg.conf. I also tried using newer kernels from the ubuntu kernel PPA (such as 2.6.33-02063302-generic and 2.6.34-020634rc5-generic) but the problem persisted. The problem exists even for a fresh installation. Obviously disabling KMS is a workable fix, but I would prefer to have it enabled if not for this.
