Hi all, To those reading this bug report trying to solve a "shutdown hangs" problem with 8.10 : you might be suffering from a kernel bug as described there : http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11994
The symptoms are - lots of "ACPI: EC: non-query interrupt received, switching to interrupt mode" lines in dmesg - power is not turned off when shutting down the machine The confusing message that this bug report was initially about led me here (thanks google), but my main concern being actually powering off the computer, editing /etc/modules or /etc/init.d/halt was of little help. (the latter did remove the "unable to iterate IDE devices:no such files or directory", but it's harmless and I wouldn't have noticed it in the first place if my laptop hadn't stopped powering off when told to do so ;-). To sum it up : some of us must wait for a kernel update. Note : FYI, I ran into this on an "old" Acer 1683WLMI laptop, where 7.10 and 8.04 worked fine. -- halt:unable to iterate IDE devices:no such files or directory https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/193125 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
