Can't shutdown PC

Hi guys,
I can't shutdown my PC. The command that I use through kde is 'shutdown -h -P now'. Well it shuts down, but for about 3-5 seconds and then it reboots. It's not just like reboot, because there's the 3-5 seconds gap. It seems strange to me, because there's no such problem when shutting down Windows.

Try disabling wake on lan in the bios and/or any wake on PCIe event.

This seems to be some kind of (relatively) new regression in the kernel, one of my machines also stopped shuting down sometime ago and there have been more reports of problems similar to yours.
