Are you using/executing the shutdown command anywhere?

If you are replace with just [sudo] poweroff (no parameters).  If I
follow the guides and use shutdown it does not work (it writes to
/proc/acpi/alarm correctly etc) but never starts up.  However if I use
the poweroff command instead of shutdown it works.

No idea why and it has had me perplexed for weeks since upgrading to
[Myth]Ubuntu 7.1 but this solution works for me and seems to have no
ill effects so far for the little time I have been running it.
