In /etc/kbd/default.map.gz:
keycode 107 = Select
altgr control keycode 107 = KeyboardSignal
control alt keycode 107 = KeyboardSignal
and in /etc/inittab:
kb:12345:kbrequest:/sbin/shutdown -t1 -h now
I use Ctrl-Alt-Ins for halt, if you want that, it is this:
keycode 110 = Insert
altgr control keycode 110 = KeyboardSignal
control alt keycode 110 = KeyboardSignal
That, in theory, and in practice here, works.
Good luck,
