Have you tried to shutdown from a CL console.
<snip> I thought the OP said they'd used poweroff.
man poweroff Excerpt: NAME reboot, halt, poweroff - reboot or stop the system
SYNOPSIS reboot [OPTION]...
halt [OPTION]...
poweroff [OPTION]...
DESCRIPTION These programs allow a system administrator to reboot, halt or poweroff the system.
When called with --force or when in runlevel 0 or 6, this tool invokes the reboot(2) system call itself and directly reboots the system. Oth- erwise this simply invokes the shutdown(8) tool with the appropriate arguments. --- end excerpt ---
