Bug Description
ThinkpadA20m running Dapper Flight3+.
Select Shutdown from System menu. Should power off machine (known to work properly as recently as 0131, perhaps more recently).
Now, gets as far as displaying message on console "will now power off", never powers off: screen is on, power inidcator light is on, all other activity appears stopped (no disk, no fan).
Recent possibly relevant changes:
0217: acpi-support (0.54) to 0.58
0215: acpid (1.0.4-1ubuntu8) to 1.0.4-1ubuntu10
0213: acpi-support (0.53) to 0.54
0213: ubuntu-minimal (0.97) to 0.98
0213: ubuntu-standard (0.97) to 0.98
(Of course, system has all other updates since Flight2 applied as well.)
Assigned to ACPI since this seems to be a power management issue.

Acer Aspire 5024WLMi.
I've got the same problem.
In Breezy the shutdown has worked (as well as in other distros, on other kernels), but doesn't work in Dapper any more (actually in none of the Dapper flight versions it worked).
When I turn off the computer:
- it closes all the services running,
- than shows the "will now halt" message,
- than the screen goes blank, the fan is working (in the highest speed) and it doesn't turn off.
Soft:
- kernel 2.6.15.5
- acpi-support 0.59
- acpid 1.0.4-1ubuntu10
