Power down.
This is probably no surprise as the acpid isn't running.
Shutdown with the 2.6.15 kernel runs to completion, but the stuff scrolls past
so fast, and no log is kept of it, so can't say what it says. It certainly
mentions "ACPI", but what else I'm not sure of.

Have you tried adding acpi=on as one of the kernel parameters? I ask
since you mentioned acpid is not running but is running for the earlier
kernel.
I used to add that line in for my laptop because of the option changing
from default on to default off from time to time. That was during Severn
though.
