While on the subject, I have since the upgrade to 5.0_STABLE (and onwards 
on the -5 branch to _RC1) suffered occasional failures to actually power 
off (using poweroff or shutdown -p) my nForce4 chipset amd64 x2 box.

Every once in a while it gets stuck in limbo instead; it shows all signs 
of powering off, including the "going to acpi mode 5" (or whatever it is) 
message on the console before the screen goes blank. But the hard disks 
and fans never turn off. I can't remember if the chassis power-on LED 
stays on, too. It is as if the box powers off everything but the fans and 
the hard disks, which keep spinning.

Anyone else seen this?

Best regards,
