[Bug 779040] [NEW] System hangs (solid) early during shutdown

[John Hunter]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kdebase

I have just installed Kubuntu 11.04 (download 06-may-2011). Every time I try to Shut Down or Reboot, the system hangs solid (won't react to Ctl-Alt_Del even). On the same machine (HP G72-b20SA) 10.10 showed the same behaviour. 11.04 splash screen hides the log. On 10.10 the final actions are:
init cron main process(1120) killed by TERM signal
init irq_balance main process(1128) killed by ...
init Hy1 main process (1304) killed by ...
Checking for running unattended-upgrades [...] -> rt2800_wait_wtp made ready: Error - WPDMA busy, aborting
Then, in one case, it progressed to:
[....]phy0->rt2x00pci_reg busy_read: Error - Indirect register access failed: offset - 0x00007010, value = 0xffffffff
After 5 mins of frozen screen, pressed the on/off switch off for 5 secs.  Reboots take long as disc journals have to be rerun.
More details:
sda1,sda2,sda3 Win7 crud;sda4 extended partition; sda5 more Win7; sda6 swap; sda7 /; sda8 /home; /sda9 /archive;
4 GB ram, intel i3 350M cpu . All Linux partitions are
I suspect some h/w issue: weird disc layout due to Win 7 hogging all the primary partitions.
(Debian Squeeze closes down cleanly but has other problems).
I hope that this helps.
