You mean it reboots? This is not something I've seen. Usually, when the
poweroff command doesn't work, it stops at the message 'OK to turn off.'
Try adding:
acpi=off
to your kernel arguments in grub.
In my experience, acpi has only recently begun working properly.
However, when it works, it can be quite nice. For example I am now able
to press my power off button and have the machine run the proper
shutdown sequence--all because of acpi.
