I have an old computer (1999) and there the apm module didn't work either.
I now have found the solution. I checked the dmesg log and found that my
computer has an ACPI, but linux isn't using it because it is too old
(1999 < 2001). I have added the kernel parameter "acpi=force" and now my
computer gets switched off.

Hello,
I have installed debian Sarge recently from cd set and found out
that now when I halt computer it go down and print 'Power off'
on terminal and stop there. I want it to swich power off too as it
used to do before I reinstalled. While I was installing I choose to
manually select packages to be installed and obviously I missed
to choose one that is responsible for swichig power off.
Can You tell me what package I need to install for computer to swich
power off automatically?
Thanks
Juraj
just apt-get install apmd
