allright, didn't see that before, sorry, here are the results:

kernel 2.6.23.12 acpi=off: when shutting down the system doesn't 
poweroff (of course), but pressing the powerbutton does the trick. and 
wake on lan: WORKS

kernel 2.6.24-rc7 acpi=off: computer doesn't power off, either (so 
acpi=off works), but wol still DOESN'T work :(

so no acpi-problem?
