[solved] Unclean shutdowns with Cruncheee

I have had this problem happen twice in the last 2 days. When I go to shut down, the bar goes about 3/4ths of the way and then gets stuck. I have to press and hold the power button to finish the turning off my laptop.

Using fresh install of Cruncheee on an Asus Eee 904HD. I am not sure what I need to do to reproduce the bug.

Any ideas? I'm not super experienced with debugging.

Do you know why it's not shutting down?  Is the sound module still running?  If the problem is the sound module, try the script in

(scroll 1/6)

If the problem is something else, then I'm stumped.

I have no clue, how can I check to see if it is the sound module? It freezes when the Usplash bar is about 3/4ths of the way complete.

I have no clue either.  But try once with

Add the following line:

rmmod snd-hda-intel

to the end of the /etc/default/halt script in order to make the Eee shutdown completely.

and see what happens.  If it works, then it's your sound module.  If not, then I don't know.  Btw, this is an ubuntu problem and
#1 inherit their problem - so it may work.

You might try changing the 'quiet splash' screen to a 'splash' screen.

To do this, edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and replace all instances of 'quiet splash' with 'splash'. Then run the update-grub command.

That'll give you the #! logo with startup/shutdown messages below it on next reboot. Maybe you can see what it's hanging on.

Alternatively, you can just remove 'quiet splash' altogether, and get the traditional linux startup.

No solution from me.  But I sense it thinks you're running a liveCD and eject the rom before it finally shutdown.
Just my 2 cents.  Maybe someone else can really help.

Re: [solved] Unclean shutdowns with Cruncheee

I added rmmod snd-hda-intel to the end of the /etc/default/halt and I haven't had it hang yet. I think it's solved.

Thanks for all the support everyone! If this is a known issue, it might be wise to ship this setting be default.
