I got similar problems (shutdown hanging, mount:/ is busy) with Ubuntu 14.04 on a Dell Precision WorkStation 390, after boot ing dmesg displayed a kernel 'Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP', a few lines below the 'i82975x_edac' is listed:

I have previously reported this bug with the 2.12 kernel (Bug #1261898), when I used apportcollect it instructed me to use standard Kernel and re- report if bug persists; it does... When I shutdown or restart the process hangs. I press a key and I see: **Killing all remaining processes ....... [fail]** (fail is in red) This is followed by more info (sometime referring to nm-dispatcher or modem and always ends: mount:/ is busy will now restart (or halt as the case may be) Then nothing else happens the process hangs there, power on my PC (Dell 5150 desktop) remains on and I need to do a "hard reset" to turn my PC off. I have seen relatively similar problems but none match mine exactly, I have attempted using: sudo shutdown -P now or sudo shutdown -H now or sudo reboot But the results are the same.
