I've had my machine hanging on shutdown from KDE with a blank screen (mouse cursor still visible) and dead mouse and keyboard, right at the point where you'd normally be switched back to the console. Before the keyboard went out there was a bit of disk activity that I don't remember at that point in the shutdown sequence. Hard reset would then end up clearing four or five inodes on the root partition. By some luck I managed to switch to the console once right before the hang and was then greeted by a "soft lockup" message from the kernel that was repeating every 22 seconds or so (the kernel seemed to be stuck in some page fault handler and a second routine that I have no clue about). This is only happening after I've used KDE for quite a while, so if I just log into KDE, start all my applications and then do an immediate shutdown it never happens, so it is quite hard to drill to the bottom of this. I've done some more experimentations and found that this is only happening with the 3.17.1 kernels, but not with the 3.16.3 which I've now rolled back to. I'm AFK for the next few days, but maybe someone else might have an idea what's going on.
