Yes; I understand about trying the alternative kernel, but was just being cautious.
About what exactly?
I've now installed your 3.7.10-0.x86_64 and booted to it. Tried shutdown -h from the commandline, but there was no change in behaviour - the machine didn't poweroff, but rebooted as before.
Which means this is a different issue. Because the patch I was testing fixes the issue on two other boxes.
(Had to issue the shutdown command from the commandline because I use the nVidia proprietary video drivers and they wouldn't compile against that kernel).
Well, you know we can't help you with proprietary drivers installed, right?
Here's the contents of dmidecode.log (please excuse my ignorance, but is there another way of uploading this kind of stuff???):
Yep, there's "Add an attachment" link in the bugzilla with which you can upload files.

Great, those are simply strings full of 0x20 chars, i.e. spaces. Talk about the notorious crappiness of DMI tables... Ok, so your BIOS looks recent. Did this box shutdown properly with any kernel and without the proprietary drivers? Also, what happens if you boot the kernel with "acpi=off", does it shutdown properly then?
