how to debug a kernel that does not power off?

[Ãkos MarÃy]

Hi,

This might be a lame question, but: how would I debug a kernel that
simply does not power off a machine? When powering off, on the console I
get to the message: [...] Poweroff.

but then, the machine actually does not power off. This is an HP Envy 15
laptop using an intel i7 CPU, and kernel 2.6.32.9.

I tried to read up on all sorts of documentation, but could not get more
debug info out of the kernel :(

any pointers would be welcome..
