I have nearly the same problem as the original poster.
Ubuntu server, 64bit.
I just upgraded from 11.04 to 11.10 (Zotac ITX board) - and I did not change any settings in the process so it should work as before.
But.
The system will not power off when it's supposed to - which is scheduled to happen at 23:00 every day (via cron).
It will halt the system but it will not cut the power; I have to hold down the power button to cut the power.
The last two messages are:
* Will now halt...
[ 174.941747] System halted.
Thanks for fixing.

Same as Bug #881792, Bug #809628 and Bug #859075.
