I remember having had problems with ACPI because my power off didn't work.
After reading through the code, I noticed that due to erroneous comparisons,
some code path would never be executed, and/or some preparatory work before
entering S5 would be done twice, or could not recover from error, I don't
recall exactly. So I sent the two patches below to the acpi-devel list twice,
but never got any reply.

I don't even know if they still apply, but you can try them anyway, they're
simple.

If I recall correctly, the first one should be enough to poweroff with a simple
"echo 5 > /proc/acpi/sleep", while the second one allows the system to use this
for poweroff.

Cheers,
Willy
