For lid there is an extra state file:

The available buttons should be listed there. If the power button isn't listed, then for some reason your kernel doesn't detect it. Whatever reason that may be...
When I configured the kernel I used my old 2.6.8 configuration via
make oldconfig
and the 2.6.8 kernel definitely detected the power button ...I have no idea why this fails ...
Kind regards
Andreas.
