34 I am suffering same thing/symptoms.  It will often (but not always)
35 power off on a straight shutdown, but rarely if ever on hibernate.  Been
36 happening since a late 4.14 and and still happening on 4.18.8.  Race
37 condition?
38
39 Everything shuts down and the screen  shows "[timestamp] Reboot: Power
40 down" - I have to hold down the power button for 10-15 seconds to remove
41 power.
42
43 Its annoying!
