If you add "apm=power-off" to the kernel commandline (the vmlinuz line in /boot/grub/grub.conf) the kernel will attempt to power the machine off via SMP even on SMP. This does NOT work on all machines, the APM spec wasn't exactly written with SMP in mind and, well, there are too many bioses where it doesn't work for us to turn it on by default.
