Here is my update for the Acer TravelMate 634.

I have the following set (or rather _NOT_ set) in my kernel and I can now
power off correctly:
# CONFIG_HPET_EMULATE_RTC is not set
# CONFIG_RTC is not set
# CONFIG_GEN_RTC is not set

Also. I had been having problems with my computer randomly freezing. I
thought this was a problem with ACPI, or perhaps an old BIOS, however it
is not.

When I upgraded to the 2.6 kernel I did not have the right drivers
installed for my touch pad. It was half installed and as a result it
was causing all kinds of problems. I now have the Synaptics drivers
properly installed and everything (seems to be) working again. A _huge_
thank you to Hartwig Felger for helping me to track this problem down!
