Re: [kernel 2.6.37] after upgrading my laptop does not power down

I only got the problem when upgraded to .38
Can't shutdown or reboot.
It unloads modules, kills all processes and turns off the monitor but never actually powers down.
And it gets stuck in the same place with restart.

Same problem for me. But I do not think that this is related to the problem reported in this thread. I do not have laptop-mode installed and had no issues wit 2.6.37 kernels.

Same here. I got the problem when upgraded to latest version.
Didn't work even with laptop mode disabled.
Shutdown/reboot works fine with kernel26-lts so I am forced to use it for the moment.

Is anyone else having the problem still? My Toshiba Satellite A660 will fail to shut down about 1/2 of the time. I don't use laptop-mode. I have looked through /var/log and everything looks normal.

I'm having this issue on 2.6.39, disabling laptop-mode tools from rc.conf didn't work for me. This happens on every shutdown. Strange but I don't recall this happening right after updating the kernel. I checked my pacman log and the last major system update was the nvidia drivers. I downgraded but that didn't work. This is on a HP Pavilion 2415nr.

Sorry for the up, I just want to add elements to the answer already given by LeCrayonVert.

For my machine, disable runtime-pm module in laptop-mode-tools fixed it, no need to disable ethernet.
And it doesn't seems very useful anyway, or I might didn't understood correctly what runtime-pm does.

gravitezero:  Welcome to Arch.  Thanks for the update -- but : This is a necropost.  As the topic specifically addresses kernel 2.6.37, it is no longer current.  To avoid confusion, I am closing the thread.  If the conversation needs to continue, someone is welcome a new thread that addresses the current kernel.
