I have an HP nx6310 and was also experiencing exactly the same problem. I can also confirm that adding 'modprobe -r psmouse' to /etc/init.d/halt and /etc/init.d/reboot solved the problem.
The instructions were a little unclear as to where in the shutdown scripts to add 'modprobe -r psmouse'. I added it after log_action_msg "Will now halt" log_action_msg "Will now restart" in the two respective scripts. Suspend is still not working successfully, but that is a minor issue in comparison, though it may be related. I also updated my BIOS from F.08 to F.0B, but that did not solve the problem. -- Battery status not updated on HP nx6325 (edgy 6.10) https://launchpad.net/bugs/68064 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
