Bug still exists.  The kernel has the GX240 blacklisted because of some
buginess in the ACPI implementation on that motherboard so it disables
it.  That means that ACPI calls won't work and probably never will.

Really the bug is this:  Ubuntu only uses ACPI to halt, even if ACPI
isn't present.  I don't know if that's the case for the other reporters
in bug #43961 but it's fairly likely.  I will leave it to you, Philip,
to judge if the problem this is in fact a duplicate based on this
information and to break the duplicate link if it is not and post my
thoughts there if it is.
