How absolutely turn off computer if I use lilo boot loader?

How absolutely turn off computer if I use lilo boot loader?
With this /etc/lilo.conf content computer not absolutely turn off:

#
# /etc/lilo.conf
#

boot=/dev/hda
# This line often fixes L40 errors on bootup
# disk=/dev/hda bios=0x80

default=arch
timeout=0
lba32
prompt

image=/boot/vmlinuz26 append="apm=power-off"
        label=arch
        root=/dev/hda1
initrd=/boot/initrd26.img
        read-only

lilo has nothing to do with it.  If you computer doesn't shut down all the way, it's most likely an issue with acpi or something similar.

Please provide some system specs so that we may give better advice. As phrakture has already said, you must have hardware that supports power management before auto shutdown works.

Also, check your BIOS.
Some systems support ACPI but must be enabled in the BIOS; I have a system like that.
