The Ubuntu Kernel Team is planning to move to the 2.6.27 kernel for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. As a result, the kernel team would appreciate it if you could please test this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. There are one of two ways you should be able to test:
1) If you are comfortable installing packages on your own, the linux- image-2.6.27-* package is currently available for you to install and test. --or-- 2) The upcoming Alpha5 for Intrepid Ibex 8.10 will contain this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. Alpha5 is set to be released Thursday Sept 4. Please watch http://www.ubuntu.com/testing for Alpha5 to be announced. You should then be able to test via a LiveCD. Please let us know immediately if this newer 2.6.27 kernel resolves the bug reported here or if the issue remains. More importantly, please open a new bug report for each new bug/regression introduced by the 2.6.27 kernel and tag the bug report with 'linux-2.6.27'. Also, please specifically note if the issue does or does not appear in the 2.6.26 kernel. Thanks again, we really appreicate your help and feedback. ** Tags added: cft-2.6.27 -- snd_hda_intel fails to unload (or unload correctly) on shut down; laptop fails to halt https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/126140 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu EEEPC, which is a direct subscriber. Status in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “linux” source package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “linux-source-2.6.22” source package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in Fedora: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: kernel-image-2.6.22-8-generic-di I chose to file this under the current Gutsy kernel, but this issue has plagued me since Dapper. Ever since Dapper my laptop wouldn't shut down properly. I would get the infamous "will now halt" message, but my computer would never completely shut down. Today I found the culprit: the snd_hda_intel module. If I manually remove this module (rmmod snd_hda_intel) before shutting down everything works perfectly. My laptop is a Toshiba Satellite A105-S2716. I also came across a post from bug #43961 that confirms the same behavior. Coincidentally, he has the same model laptop I do: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.15/+bug/43961/comments/157 Workaround: To work around this problem, I created an init.d script to run at shutdown. All the script does is remove the snd_hda_intel module at shutdown (rmmod snd-hda-intel) and things work smoothly.
