[Virtual-pkg-base-maintainers] Bug#679978: base: fails to shutdown, hard reset required

[Connor]

Package: base
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,
When I go to shutdown my laptop running Wheezy (by issuing 'sudo
shutdown -h now'), I see the following information:

Debian GNU/Linux whezy/sid laptop tty1
laptop login: rpcbind:rpcbind terminating on signal. Restart with
"rpcbind -w"
[   295.902894] hda_intel:azx_get_response timeout, switching to
single_cmd mode: last cmd=0x01970700

just before the computer completley locks up, forcing a hard reset.
Alternative shutdown/reboot commands (halt, poweroff, reboot) produce
the same result. This occurs even with a fresh install, suggesting a
general problem, as opposed to one involving a particular package I've
installed.
