When your machine do 'shutdown -h now', what is the last message
appearing on the screen?  When I do it in qemu, I get these lines:

 Will now halt
 Shutdown: hda
 System halted.

The first line is from init.d/halt, the second is from /sbin/halt, and
the the last line is printed by the kernel in the reboot() call.  Do
you see these lines when your machine fail to power down?

Would it help if I say "sometimes" or even "most times" when the
system has switched to console.  It sometimes sticked on displaying
the X screen.

Some more details about this problem I posted to debian-devel at

   http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2006/03/msg01108.html

It might especially be interesting that I observed at one single
occurence

   Unmounting remote and non-toplevel virtual filesystems ... done

after the "System haltet".

Kind regards
