Hi Blaster:

Try the following in your grub boot line in /boot/grub/menu.lst:

apm=power-off

Re: poweroff

Try adding acpi=force to the following line in your grub.lst:

kernel /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/discs/disc0/part4 ro acpi=force

Although it may not work for you because your system seems to have problems with acpi. Anyway, if the above solutions don't work, you can always try this one. It did the trick for me.

My (old) desktop PC needs "apm=poweroff" and my laptop needs "nolapic".
