Bug Description
Hi,
I know this problem seems to be widely reported, but apparently there are many subltly different variants.
In my case, I tried booting with acpi=off (gdm doesn't start in that case), apm=power-off, replacing halt by shutdown, rmmoding sdn-hda-intel, but notthing worked.
In fact, I saw that /etc/rc0.d/S90halt is never executed (I disabled usplash and inserted an echo line at start). As I don't know how to find my way in the boot scripts, I can't tell you more.
I have an up-to-date ubuntu 8.10, installed from scratch (not an update).
Here's an lspci + dmesg:
(see attachments - webpigeon)

Thanks for your bug report and for your contribution to ubuntu. In order to determine if this issue is usplash related, would you boot your computer with usplash disabled and then shutdown to see if you can reproduce the issue? To disable usplash for a single boot, you can follow these steps :
1.Press Esc during Grub boot delay to access the boot menu.
2.Select your actual Ubuntu boot line and press "e" to edit it.
3.Select the "kernel" line and press "e" to edit it.
4.At the end of the line, remove "splash" and "quiet" and press "enter".
5.Type "b" to boot the custom boot line.
After reading what you had written I saw that you disabled usplash and inserted and echo line at start. I had the same issue you're talking about here and did what it said to test. Then just modified my menu.lst file when I saw it worked.
