Shut Down Problem

I recently installed gentoo on a Nehemiah m10000 using a ChiefMax power supply and when I power down the system, the operating system eventually just says powered down but the fans/lights and everything are still running. I tried following this thread https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-314952-highlight-shut.html but didn't understand it. Using the 2.4.28 kernel. Can any help me out a little more? thanks.

Probably, you have to turn on Power Management Support in the kernel. I'm unsure whether this is also in the 2.4 branch, but I don't think so. I had the same problem just this weekend when I tried to do the optimizations from the Power Management Guide.
