Hello,

Maybe you should download again the iso files and burn it again with a new media ( i don't if you have brun a DVD or put the iso on a usb key); Maybe the files are corupted, maybe your media support is dead. It's an idea.

Good luck.

Hi,
Solution 1:
I had the same problem. The new update prevents rebooting and shutdown. The solution I did was to choose the advance setting during boot time(grub) menu and choose the kernel with 14.9 on it. Then I can shutdown and reboot properly.

Solution 2:
If that doesn't work I changed the grub.conf line

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"

to this

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash reboot=pci"

Procedure for that:
1. sudo nano /etc/default/grub

2. change the line
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"

to this

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash reboot=pci"

Then
      1.press Ctrl-O to save
      2.press Ctrl-X to exit

3. sudo update-grub

Reboot your computer. If it hangs, then force quit  by pressing the power key for couple of seconds.

I have a Lenovo Y520 gaming laptop.
