This is a bug in your BIOS. Some (broken) APM BIOSes can't handle the
powerdown command in protected mode.
You can safely ignore the error messages.
A "fix" is to recompile the kernel without poweroff support.
If you don't need total stability, another "fix" is to get kernel 2.3.34,
which supports powerdown in real mode to work around broken BIOSes. 2.3.34
is experimental, though. If you decide to try it, don't worry about odd
errors.
