I have the same problem.. i'm using a LG LW20 laptop.. But my laptop is shutdown completely on recovery mode(in grub menu).. I don't know why that. My kernel is linux-image-2.6.15-26-686.
"acpi=force" option is not worked for me. -- Power down after shutdown does not work... https://launchpad.net/bugs/43961 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
