I think one post already said that he can power off the system by holding the power button in for a couple of seconds until it powers off. -- B. L. Jilek | Debian Linux!

When you use shutdown -h now on a system that doesn't shut off by itself (I have a few of these), the last message you see is 'power down' indicating it is oK to shut off the PC. His message sounded like the menu shutdown was hanging. I have had a few systems do this, they usually hang with just the wallpaper showing. In this case, I avoid using the gnome menu and shutdown from the command prompt.
