Would it help if I say "sometimes" or even "most times" when the
system has switched to console.  It sometimes sticked on displaying
the X screen.

Some more details about this problem I posted to debian-devel at

    http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2006/03/msg01108.html

It might especially be interesting that I observed at one single
occurence

    Unmounting remote and non-toplevel virtual filesystems ... done

after the "System haltet".

Kind regards

          Andreas.
