Try using poweroff instead of halt. Also, are you using initscripts or systemd? Which version?

Wait, I just noticed you are running linux-3.2.9. This kernel is many months old...
Please do `pacman -Syu` and update your system before reporting bugs.
We cannot diagnose or fix bugs from the past.

Please update your machine and, if the problem persist, open a new bug report with the information I requested.
