Hallo,
I have an old (1999) computer too. dmesg showed that the kernel does 
find my ACPI but doesn't use it because my bios is too old. It says 
something like "... bios too old (1999 < 2001)". I now use the kernel 
parameter "acpi=force" and now the kernel is using my ACPI. Poweroff 
does now realy switch the power off!
I've read that acpi=force works with 2.4 kernels but not 2.6 like mine. What kernel are you using?
Also, power management is enabled in the bios. Is that correct or is it 
fighting apm?
