I'm not sure how to get newer equipment to turn itself off reliably. It seems
to be a question of APM vs. ACPI. I've got one box that will, and two boxes
that won't. The ACPI info I've been able to find is grossly out of date, and
I haven't had much luck.
However, even on the boxes that won't shut themselves off, the init scripts
take the system down to a point where I get a message to the effect that it's
OK to turn off the power now. If you're not getting that far, you have some
underlying problem to deal with.
