My experience is that you need _either_ apm or acpi installed in the kernel
(on my Dell Inspiron 2500) for power-off to work. It only worked completely
with apm if apmd was active (and that's the _only_ thing I can do with apm).
However, with acpi, it powers off completely whether or not acpid is
running. Acpid, though, provides a controlled shutdown (via init) from the
power button.
