hi there, i recently had problems with the same thing, i couldn't get it
to power down for a while in my compiled 2.4.7 kernel, but now i've
fixed it.
First of all i never used the ACPI stuff. Only APM, i enabled almost
everything, and that was my problem, after disabling
Use real mode APM BIOS call to power off
It started powering off again, maybe this isn't your case but i hope it helps
