I've noticed this too. I use APM poweroffs to have my machine [desktop though] automaticly powerdown.
I, however, decided to fix this problem in the 2.1 kernel.
Look in your /usr/src/linux/kernel/sys.c Do a search for: LINUX_REBOOT_CMD_HALT
Now, add a line to poweroff before halt: case LINUX_REBOOT_CMD_HALT: notifier_call_chain(&reboot_notifier_list, SYS_HALT, NULL); printk(KERN_EMERG "System halted.\n"); ---> machine_power_off(); machine_halt(); do_exit(0); break;
Sorry I didn't make a diff or anything..
