This one has been around for a while. It's been plagueing me since 2.6.8,
though its interesting that you only see it happening recently.

My attempts to debug it led to the bug disappearing when I added
instrumentation to the kernel. On my Compaq Evo, it does power off
eventually, though it takes about a minute after that last
acpi_power_off message.

There are bugs open on this in bugme.osdl.org, and bugzilla.redhat.com

I'm having the same problem with 2.6.10-rc2-mm1. I did not have the problem with 2.6.10-rc1-mm5 and earlier as I remember. Will look into it.
