Subject: 3.7.x (x > 0) poweroff failure

I hope that this is the right place, but I am using a Samsung Series 7 Gamer 
(i7 + Nvidia) with proprietary graphics drivers. Using 3.7.0 when restarting 
the machine or powering down, things work as expected. However, in 3.7.7 and 
3.7.8 (which is what I have tested so far), the machine does not power down 
afterwards, and when X stops, I do not see the console, just a blinking 
cursor in the upper left hand corner. This has not occurred before in any 
other previous kernel that I have tried, including 3.2.29 and I think 3.6.

Could anyone help direct me to identifying the problem and whether there is 
a problem on my end or if this is some sort of regression in the 3.7.x 
series?
