I've had a similar problem on my dell i8k, but the other kconf-parms
from an earlier thread did it for me:

>If you turn on CONFIG_X86_UP_APIC, then APM won't work.


# CONFIG_X86_UP_APIC is not set
# CONFIG_X86_UP_IOAPIC is not set
CONFIG_PM=y
# CONFIG_ACPI is not set
CONFIG_APM=y
# CONFIG_APM_IGNORE_USER_SUSPEND is not set
CONFIG_APM_DO_ENABLE=y
CONFIG_APM_CPU_IDLE=y
CONFIG_APM_DISPLAY_BLANK=y
# CONFIG_APM_RTC_IS_GMT is not set
# CONFIG_APM_ALLOW_INTS is not set
CONFIG_APM_REAL_MODE_POWER_OFF=y

my laptop is shutting down finely with it.
