It might be worth noting that if you have ALSA Intel HDA (either within the kernel at compilation time or via sysfs) set to aggressive powersaving (e.g. after two seconds) then this problem will also go away. Both methods are outlined on http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_enable_AC97_power_saving .
-- 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.
