After sorting out some other problems, I finally found time to look at this again. I'm now using the tmb.5 kernel, tried all the possible combinations of acpi and apic settings I could think of, and have found that with the option "acpi=on" and no mention of apic or lapic, the computer now switches off automatically, the way I wanted it to.
Thanks for your help. Now I just have to get the sound working... ;-)

Unless 'acpi=on' is undocumented, it's not a valid 2.6.x kernel parameter. See kernel-parameters.txt (you'll need kernel source installed. Any 2.6 kernel-source will do).
Valid parameters are acpi=off, acpi=ht which both turn off acpi, and acpi=force, which forces acpi on. Simply not having any acpi parameter should turn acpi on, as it's built into the kernel as on by default. You can leave that parameter in tho, it's just being ignored by the kernel.

Run 'draksound' as root in a term. Follow all the steps under trouble shooting. I'd add to also run 'll /dev/dsp'. Ouput should look like this
tom # ll /dev/dsp lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 9 Apr 1 23:56 /dev/dsp -> sound/dsp
The last '-x' means user can execute sound, and '->' that dsp is linked to sound.
'fuser -v /dev/dsp' should return nothing. This means nothing is currently tyin up sound, which is what you want.
Also, I didn't need aumix installed as draksound indicates. What enabled sound in 10.0 for me was to raise all the sliders in kmix to 100% ..... including the ones under the 'line-in' icons on the right side. At least one of 'em is the line-in from your speaker system.
Checked the obvious first - volume was set to 0 in Aumix, turned it up - sound now working! This 10 is very impressive - just about everything so far has been easier to "fix" than in 9.0 or 9.2, and the only real problem has been caused by malfunctioning unit between chair and keyboard ;-)
