Bug#684240: [wheezy] lenovo t61 laptop fails to shutdown

[Luis Mochan <mochan@fis.unam.mx>]

I followed your instructions below and again got to a black screen and
an unresponsive laptop. I had to use a recover disk to go back to the
previous configuration. Would the /var/log/messages file be useful?
Regards,
Luis
