Maybe this?

Use real mode APM BIOS call to power off
CONFIG_APM_REAL_MODE_POWER_OFF
  Use real mode APM BIOS calls to switch off the computer. This is
  a work-around for a number of buggy BIOSes. Switch this option on if
  your computer crashes instead of powering off properly.

Maybe you can do a kernel build with this enabled?  I'm not sure if this
is the answer, or if stock kernels have this on, but it's worth a shot.
