I had this problem too. Try to change config of your kernel in Power managment -> APM section. According to help, some of options here are appointed for proper work with buggy BIOSes. Read help.
This is my config, if it helps you.
CONFIG_APM=y CONFIG_APM_IGNORE_USER_SUSPEND=y CONFIG_APM_DO_ENABLE=y CONFIG_APM_CPU_IDLE=y CONFIG_APM_DISPLAY_BLANK=y CONFIG_APM_RTC_IS_GMT=y CONFIG_APM_ALLOW_INTS=y # CONFIG_APM_REAL_MODE_POWER_OFF is not set

Ever since I installed gentoo on my new computer in October I've been frustrated when I try to shut it down.
At the end up the shutdown sequence, the computer has only about a 50/50 chance of powering itself off correctly, the other half the time, it merely stops with the 'Power Off' message.
