FYI the exact same machine, with potato, poweroffed fine on a previous

Thank you


Maybe your apm isn't activated (or even isn't compiled into the kernel). 
To activate apm, enter at the lilo-prompt "liunx apm=on", if that helps, 
then you can put "apm=on" in /etc/lilo.conf's append=""-line and install 
a new bootblock with "lilo".
