Thanks a lot for your reply. In this laptop (a Toshiba Satellite U500,
btw) I've had several versions of Ubuntu and Fedora installed, and
Windows 7 -- although it's currently Arch-only. I've only had this
behaviour in Arch.

Hello everyone,
I would like to ask you for help with a weird piece of behaviour of my arch
box (now 3.0, but it was the same with older kernels):
* Shutdown works OK when on A/C, but, when on battery, the computer ends up
with fans on and the On button light on. In this state it is totally
unresponsive -- it looks much as it does when it fails to suspend.
* But, on battery (and A/C too), it reboots perfectly well. So I've resorted
to rebooting when I want to shutdown on battery, and then plugging it off
once it gets to the bios screen.
I'm sure these will be tell-tale symptoms to more enlightened arch users.
For my part, I am totally clueless. I would have suspected an acpid problem,
but I have no shutdown event or action enabled. I don't see anything
interesting in the logs either.
Any piece of advise will be very welcome.
Cheers,
Manolo
Have you tried to see if this occurs with any other linux distro? Try
something like Linux Mint or ubuntu. If you can, then see if this
problem occurs in Windows too.
