The kernel was modified to support both halting and powering down.
The old method modified the halt function to poweroff. The 2.1 kernels
offer both a halt and poweroff function. You need to have a version of
sysvinit which can handle this. I'm using version 2.72 here. You then
need to modify your shutdown script (on slackware its /etc/rc.d/rc.0)
to call either 'halt -p' or 'poweroff'.
