'Power down.' doesn't on my laptop, sysv-2.75, halt -p

I checked sysvinit sources and kernel sources; the 'halt' cmd is
giving the right magic, and I'm getting the kernel 'Power down.' printk,
which is followed immediately by a call to machine_power_off(), which
doesn't do the trick.

I have an HP OmniBook 5500CT, which runs fine otherwise under
2.1.127pre2. Same behavior under .125. Powers off under 2.0 just fine.
- SMP=1 commented out
- Poweroff on shutdown enabled

Did I miss anything else?

Yes, excellent chances of getting it fixed -- this is Linux.
