I keep getting all sort of reports of machines > not shutting down anymore. For example, my Centrino laptop will restart instead of power down with -mm kernels.

Shutdown works when on battery power. - attach an external USB hard disk => power down always works. - remove device_suspend(PMSG_SUSPEND) => power down always works.
