That's a kernel problem, not a busybox one.

If you're using APM, the kernel disables it at boot when it's running
with more than one processor. You can force it on, only for
powering-off, with the option apm=power-off to the kernel.

If you're using ACPI, then I don't know why it isn't powering down. It
could be because of an older BIOS, blacklisted when in SMP mode. But
then you can try activating apm like above.
