I had a non-shutdown problem as well. I could tap the power switch and get some "suspend" messages and then a real shutdown, but not automatic. The thing used to work.
Somewhere along the line I commented out the following line in /etc/modules: apm power_off=1 Restoring that line, the computer shuts down just fine (despite the fact that the bootup sequence does not like the acpi configuration).
