The 5 step process you listed did not change anything. The bug is still present.
"sudo shutdown -h now" gives the same results. The bug is still present. After shutdown the machine automatically starts again and boots up. Shut Down is not effective at shutting the system down. In the original post I did not list a subsystem as I am not very familiar with the various subsystems (I wish there was a guide) but if I had to guess I'd say this is a acpi bug. FWIW: I've been watching the ubuntu forums and I've been seeing other talk about this problem. Often it is hard to recognize that this is the bug being talked about as folks are unsure what is going on. I have went to great lenghts to check/change bios settings in an effort to find any indication of what may be causing this but so far I am at a loss. I wish there was a good guide to acpi but everything I have found assumed a person already has a lot of knowledge about acpi. Cheers.
