These are total system hangs. It is not possible to use the REISUB method to safely shutdown so I've been forced to have a hard power off. On two occasions this caused my file system to be corrupted and fsck wasn't able to fix the corruption, forcing a reinstall. At first I thought it was the Bay Fail bug affecting me so I tried the intel_indle.cstate=1 method but it did not fix the problem. My CPU isn't listed as being affected by that bug (Intel Core i3-3110). So far all that seems to stop it is adding the following to /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf Section "Device" Identifier "Card0" Driver "Intel" Option "AccelMethod" "uxa" EndSection Warning: if you are one of those semi-autistic trolls that have infected the kernel forum DO NOT bother participating in my bug report. I have had enough of being flamed when all I am trying to do is find answers.
