MORE DATA! I'm also having the "won't power down" problem -- "FAIL" message in red on the console. Xubuntu 64 bit, Oneiric 11.10
I use an edimax USB wireless dongle. However, when I switched to a TP-LINK TL-WN321G (stolen from my other near-identical machine, which doesn't have the problem) the problem went away. I don't have any network drives. Just starting up ubuntu with the edimax plugged in (and connecting automatically to my WPA network) is enough to cause the shutdown problem. Works: (TP-LINK) Bus 002 Device 002: ID 148f:2070 Ralink Technology, Corp. RT2070 Wireless Adapter Doesn't Work: (EDIMAX) Bus 002 Device 003: ID 148f:2573 Ralink Technology, Corp.

Sometimes the pc shuts down but ends with the ubuntu splash screen and gets stuck there. The issue may be driver related: I use the AMD/ATI FGLRX graphics driver. I have a second pc where I also did the update to 11.10 and there I have no problem at all but I don't use the above driver but the NVIDIA graphics driver. Both pc's have Ubuntu 11.10 64-bit.
