I'm using the following patch:

disable-lapic-in-acpi-power-off-2.6.7.diff

 static void
 acpi_power_off (void)
 {
 	printk("%s called\n",__FUNCTION__);
+	disable_local_APIC ();
 	/* Some SMP machines only can poweroff in boot CPU */
 	set_cpus_allowed(current, cpumask_of_cpu(0));
 	acpi_enter_sleep_state_prep(ACPI_STATE_S5);


which corrects the problem. Fn-F3 doesn't work.
