You probably need to isolate where the problem is on your setup first rather than try new methods of shutting down. My suggestion would be to try either a SuSE LiveCD or Zenwalk-Live, which uses a newer kernel. Boot from those, then drop down to a terminal or use a root shell to issue your "shutdown -h now" or "poweroff" command. The root password for Zenwalk-Live is "ZenLive". Not sure what the SuSE live uses for a root password though. If these work, then your hardware settings are probably ok. If neither work, then I would check some BIOS settings first or turn acpi off at the boot loader screen. If SuSE live doesn't work still, but Zenwalk does, you might have a kernel issue.
