Guys, I'm not sure we have the same problem. If I exit xorg and go to |
| 75 |
a console, then the shutdown command works fine. |
| 76 |
|
| 77 |
My problem seems to be xorg/kernel related. I suspect IRQ management |
| 78 |
by the new kernel and have been squeezing my brain to remember if I |
| 79 |
enabled any modules dealing with IRQ, but can't recall. |
| 80 |
|
| 81 |
I haven't yet built a vanilla kernel to compare. |
