Do you know if APM support is compiled into the kernel? You need these 2
options to be enabled in the compiled kernel, under
General setup --->
<*> Advanced Power Management BIOS support
Use real mode APM BIOS call to power off

You may also want to check your file permissions to make sure that something isn't wrong. The simplest way to do this is via LinuxConf. Also, make sure that your APM settings are where they should be in your BIOS's CMOS. After this, your problem should be solved.
