Bug#684240: linux-image-3.2.0-3-686-pae: lenovo t61 laptop fails to shutdown

[Luis Mochan <wlmochan@gmail.com>]

At one time I had problems with my graphics card and they were solved
installing the proprietary nvidia driver. Could that be the problem?
The message 'driver taints kernel' makes me somewhat nervous, but it
has worked fine for a long time. 
Regards,
Luis
