I'm seeing exactly the same problem on 3 out of 3 older systems with lubuntu 10.04 on pentium 3s. With acpi on, it intermittently fails to turn off as described, but restart works. When acpi isn't enabled on one of the pre 2000 bioses, it consistently does not shut down. Using acpi=force makes all three machines intermittent - approximately 10% fail rate.
