If the computers are single-core, single-processor systems with no
hyperthreading enabled, then it might also be worth trying to use APM
rather than ACPI. That's done with the acpi=off kernel line parameter.
(Linux uses ACPI unless it's not supported or turned off. If and only if
ACPI is not enabled, then it tries enabling APM, unless *that's* turned
off or not supported -- and APM can't work in SMP mode. You need one or
the other to do a software power off).

If that works, then you've got a problem with the ACPI on your
motherboards. Look for BIOS updates.

Hope this helps,

James.
