Thank you very much for replying.  I could not install the bios that you
recommended, because I don't have a diskette drive.  However, I have
found a workaround for the problem by converting to Xubuntu 12.04
Precise Pangolin.

   Apparently there is something different in the startup for Ubuntu and
Xubuntu.  I switched to Xubuntu on a forum recommendation from somebody
who was having the exact same problem as me (Shutdown, Restart, Suspend,
Hibernate fails) on a Compaq computer (I don't know if it was the exact
same model).  His Compaq also would not run correctly on Ubuntu, but
performed fine on Xubuntu.

I would prefer to be running Ubuntu as that is what I run on my Dell
D610 laptops, a fix to this problem would be appreciated.  I will try to
find a way to load the latest bios from a cd or flash drive.

Thank you again,
Ralph

Title:
  [Compaq Presario 2195US Notebook PC] Shutdown, Restart, Suspend,
  Hibernate fails Ubuntu 12.04.1

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I installed Ubuntu 12.04.1 on my Compaq Presario 2100 (2195US to be
  exact).  Now Shutdown, Restart, Suspend, and Hibernate don't work.  I
  installed the latest bios I could (KA.M1.57).  Shutdown and Restart
  worked under Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx.  If I boot with "acpi=off"
  Restart works, but not Shutdown, Suspend, nor Hibernate.  There is a
  dmesg message about a broken bios, but Windows XP (I am multi-booted)
  runs fine.  Shutdown, Restart, Suspend, Hibernate work.  When doing
  Restart, for exampe, the computer hangs with the final message being
  "Will  now restart" "102500.5296241 Restarting system".  A similar
  message appears when the system hangs during shutdown, except it says
  "Will now halt"  "131.2961161 Power down.".  This web site has photos
  of the screen when the computer hangs during Shutdown and Restart.
