[SOLVED]Can't shutdown or reboot

Hi,

I have installed gnome on a fresh Arch Linux installation(ASUS N580VD). Whenever I try to power off or reboot (from gnome or TTY, doesn't matter, result is the same), GDM closes and TTY comes up and hangs with a screen like this:

I tried to understand the cgroup: remount is not allowed thing, but not sure if it has anything to do with the issue.

Does anybody have an idea?

Re: [SOLVED]Can't shutdown or reboot

That "cgroup"..." message is not the issue.

What happens if you run "poweroff" or "reboot" form a terminal?

Everything closes, TTY (the one when you get with CTRL+ALT+F* keys) comes up and it hangs there without any output or something.

Re: [SOLVED]Can't shutdown or reboot

After some reading, i tried adding acpi_osi='Windows 2012' to my kernel parameters (via updating /etc/default/grub and re-generating grub configuration by grub-mkconfig) and now I can shutdown or reboot without manual intervention.
