Halts as in shut down. As after halt command but without syncing disks

Unfortunately those patches cannot be applied to current kernel:
Applying: ACPICA: Add acpi_gbl_force_rsdt variable
error: drivers/acpi/tables/tbutils.c: does not exist in index
error: drivers/acpi/utilities/utglobal.c: does not exist in index
error: include/acpi/acglobal.h: does not exist in index
Patch failed at 0001 ACPICA: Add acpi_gbl_force_rsdt variable

I'll try the boot option.
