Public bug reported: This is similar to several bugs reported in the past but just (re)appeared with kernel update from 2.6.31-20 generic to 2.6.31-21. It is clearly attributable to the kernel update. I can reboot the older kernel and it shuts down just fine. Boot the new kernel and the computer won't power off on shutdown.
Running 2.6.31-21 it won't power off from either a terminal window ($ shutdown now -P) or from the GUI. Computer is a Dell Inspiron 9100 laptop, 2GB ram, Ubuntu 9.10.
