it's the new kernel.
more precisely, it is the particular version of the ACPI or APM driver in the kernel.
when you shutdown your PC, the halt command (ACPI or APM) is called, which switches off the PC.
some boards do not wake up at all if you shutdown them using acpi. some boards do not wake up at all if you shutdown them using apm.
some boards do not wake up at all if you shutdown them using some particulat versions of acpi/apm.
See second reboot problem in README.reboot in the nvram-wakeup package.
