Not shutting-down, always reboot

Hmm, what system is this on? Is it a prebuilt laptop? Nothing interesting is in the logs, so I’d guess there’s a firmware / ACPI issue here somewhere.

A quick google also turns up the following two possible fixes:

  • Try shutting off your wifi card via the hardware switch before shutting down the computer.
  • Try adding acpi=noirq to your boot options using the guide here.

Neither of these are permanent, but once we know what the issue is we can make them persist.
