G41 dmesg from Linux Mint 13 attached. Another issue: on the 600x, I did a shutdown -hP now After the shutdown message, I got shutdown: /run/initctl: No such file or directory init: /run/initctl: No such file or directory and the system would not shut down. I finally got it to do so by using shutdown -n.
