Heck, the ehci-hcd driver (USB 2.0 hci) must be a module if you have some crappy BIOS, because you need to unload it for poweroff to work (will reboot if loaded, instead).

Is there a bug report, and is it idle, work-in-progress, or closed WONTFIX? Because (regardless of the deficiencies of the BIOS) that driver sounds buggy to me.

I'm not the original discover of the issue. I just found about it by googling for a fix and found that some distros already fix this somehow.

I can't know if there is any open/closed bug for this. Kernel bugzila is still down.

well my system currently refuses to shut down completely too. It forgets suspend to ram and wakes up after a few seconds, cleaning everything in memory.. Powerdown acts the same way, turning back on after a few seconds too. So link please? :P

This was some time ago, but my current google-fu gets me this links that may help you:

http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_make_ACPI_work
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=942749

Note that in all three, one of the advises for fixing rebooting instead of shutting down is a "rmmod ehci-hcd" before the "poweroff" command.
