I just did a little digging and found that the message is defined in the
linux source in .../linux/kernel/sys.c. The message is dependent on
how the system is going down. Somehow your system is triggering a
POWER_OFF rather than a HALT. Perhaps someone with more knowledge of
how init triggers the kernel will provide more input.
