I think there is a major misconception:

halt (or shutdown -h) will halt your PC whereas poweroff (or shutdown
-P) will power it off.

The shutdown -h behavior has changed since Natty, but according to the
man page both variants are valid.

Easy fix: Use shutdown -P and your system should power off again.

Title:
  shutdown screen stuck after upgrade to Ubuntu 11.10

Status in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  After the update from 11.04 to 11.10: when I shut down the pc sometimes it goes back to the login screen and then I have to do shutdown there which works well then.
  Sometimes the pc shuts down but ends with the ubuntu splash screen and gets stuck there.
  The issue may be driver related: I use the AMD/ATI FGLRX graphics driver.
  I have a second pc where I also did the update to 11.10 and there I have no problem at all but I don't use the above driver but the NVIDIA graphics driver. 
  Both pc's have Ubuntu 11.10 64-bit.
