Bug Description

Jaunty Beta x86_64
Kernel 2.6.28-11-generic
Laptop: HP Pavilion dv2570el

Most of the times it hangs on "Will now halt" ot "Will now reboot".
If I press Ctrl+Alt+Del it actually continues and reboot.

Running the kernel with "verbose" and without splash, I noticed a "general protection fault" right before the "will now halt/reboot"; it has to do with Network Manager and I think is caused by the iw3945 wifi driver.
However the messages are too late and not captured by syslog. How can I get them?

May be related to bug #349778

In fact if I disconnect the wireless before rebooting or halting I do not have the problem!

This problem is *not* happening with vanilla 2.6.28 or 2.6.29.

Hi Ludovico,

Care to try installing the linux-backports-modules-jaunty package to see if it helps. It contains an updated compat-wireless stack. Please let us know your results. Thanks.

With linux-backports-modules-jaunty it does work!

With vanilla 2.6.29 or ubuntu 2.6.28 + linux-backports-modules-jaunty I sometimes get the following messages when rebooting/halting:

iwl3945: Error: Response NULL in 'REPLY_ADD_STA'
