you mean culprit of this is "REAL_MODE"?
I don't know about it so much but I found some
description of this on 
http://www.linux.org/docs/ldp/howto/Battery-Powered/powermgm.html

--
Use real mode APM BIOS call to power off (CONFIG_APM_REAL_MODE_POWER_OFF):
This is a workaround for a number of broken BIOSes.
If your computer crashes instead of powering off properly, turn this on.

I wonder this means if you don't use "broken BIOSes", don't turn it on?

any idea?

thanks.
