Look in /usr/src/linux/Documentation/Configure.help
CONFIG_APM_POWER_OFF Enable the ability to power off the computer after the Linux kernel is halted. You will need software (e.g., a suitable version of the halt(8) command ("man 8 halt")) to cause the computer to power down. Recent versions of the sysvinit package available from ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/daemons/init/ (user: anonymous) contain support for this ("halt -p" shuts down Linux and powers off the computer, if executed from runlevel 0). As with the other APM options, this option may not work reliably with some APM BIOS implementations.
-- Red Hat Fix is to edit /etc/rc.d/init.d/halt change command="halt" to command="halt -p"
