I installed the 3.0.0-12 kernel under Ubuntu 12.04 ("precise"), as per the KernelBisection instructions.
(I did, however, run into a dependency problem, in that the 'linux- headers-3.0.0-12-generic' package depended on 'linux-headers-3.0.0-12', which wasn't listed on the 'https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/oneiric/+source/linux' page to which the bisection page referred me. I therefore went looking for the missing package in the old oneiric repository, and found it at 'http://old- releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux/linux- headers-3.0.0-12_3.0.0-12.20_all.deb'.) When I subsequently booted Ubuntu 12.04 with this kernel, my computer successfully shut down, even with a USB medium attached. (In other words, same behaviour as Ubuntu 11.10 with this kernel version. So: o The 3.0.0-12 kernel is OK; o The 3.2.0-23 kernel is NOT OK. Guess it's time to start bisecting the kernel versions now? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1618001 Title: My computer reboots instead of shutting down Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: See also: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1579542 When I try to shutdown my computer, it seems as though it is trying to power off, but it immediately reboots instead. I can circumvent the problem by unbinding the EHCI drivers right before power off. I created a systemd service to do this automatically. First, I created a script, '/usr/local/sbin/unbind- ehci-drivers' that the service will execute: -----</usr/local/sbin/unbind-ehci-drivers>----- #!/bin/sh DRIVER_DIRECTORY='/sys/bus/pci/drivers/ehci-pci' cd "${DRIVER_DIRECTORY}" find -mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1 -name '*:*:*.*' -type l -printf '%f\0' | xargs -I '{}' --null echo '{}' > unbind -----<srevird-iche-dnibnu/nibs/lacol/rsu/>----- Next, the '/etc/systemd/system/unbind-ehci-drivers.service' systemd service file: -----</etc/systemd/system/unbind-ehci-drivers.service>----- [Unit] Description=Unbind EHCI drivers upon system shutdown DefaultDependencies=no Before=halt.target [Service] Type=oneshot ExecStart=/usr/local/sbin/unbind-ehci-drivers [Install] WantedBy=shutdown.target -----<ecivres.srevird-iche-dnibnu/metsys/dmetsys/cte/>----- With these files in place, the following command will enable the service: root@localhost# systemctl enable unbind-ehci-drivers Shutdown works now.
