have you compiled your kernel with local APIC (caution : not ACPI but APIC) on uniprocessor?

If so turn it off and retry. this has worked for many laptops

I already tried that, without a result.
But a few minutes ago I upgraded to gentoo-dev-sources 2.6.4 and... tada, it finally powers down again! wooooooooooohooooooooooo!

Well, let's fix the next problem
