Tried several things, looked through some logs (not that I know what I'm looking for), and didn't see anything I thought was useful.
Attached is a digital photo of shutdown failure with Hardy 20080201. The few characters of ^M^M^?^?^? were when I was trying to switch back and forth between the command line and the splash screen. As usual with Ubuntu a lot of messages go by. I didn't find any log anywhere with the messages; is there one, since the same failure on installed system does leave lots of logs around. By the way, the fix that works on Feisty & Gutsy from bug #119308 does NOT work on Hardy so things are even worse. On attempting to shutdown, I can see the keyboard lights flicker when the keyboard is reset, however the computer doesn't show any signs of powering off.
