Module? What module?  I don't need no steenking module to power down.
I jest pull de plug outta de wall!

It has happened with both straight kernel, and patched.
Incidentally, Andrew, thanks for that patch. And thanks to
James Simmons too, for that Makefile fix.
I get (on a Mandrake 7.2+bits of 8 system) roughly:

Starting killall script [OK}
Setting hardware clock to system time  [OK]
Unmounting filesystems [OK]
The system is halted.   <===== issued by rc  script
Power Down.         <========= issued by printk

... and it stops there... instead of turning the power off like it did under
2.2.18 and earlier.
No kernel oops message.  Also, SysRq-O doesn't work - it just puts SysRq: up
on the screen.
The other SysRq functions  I've tried work - (Kill), (Sync), (reBoot).
Thanks for your continued monitoring.
