Hi,
You don't say which distro or kernel you are using, which may help.
For what it is worth I had this problem a while ago. My Redhat box died and the
only CD I had was debian. The new debian box (kernel2.4.18) would not power down
automatically. I just loaded the apm module and things then worked as expected.
regards,
John Kelly
