Shutdown fails - system hangs at "deconfigure network devices"

Same thing here, except that it hangs at the HP imaging system line. It was working well with 2.6.15-22.

I confirm this bug, my laptop is a Samsung P30 with Pentium M, IPW-2100 and RTL-8139

After some testing with 2.6.15-23 & 24 kernels, It seems that the shutdown process works well as long as the system has not been hibernated (suspended to disk). After hibernation, it hangs at one line or the other of the shutdown process.

after some deeper investigation, I figured out, why all those problems related to kernel-2.6.15-25 came.

Running the automatic updates just updated the kernel, but did not replace the correct modules. After uninstalling all old kernels, images, headers and modules and installing all the latest stuff in synaptic, everything seems to be solved. No major problems anymore related to kernel.

Looks like, this is an issue for the guys who maintain the update dependancies :-)

For me, this issue is solved so far.

On Feisty, shutdown is working right for me. As far as I'm concerned, this bug is fixed.
