Since you switched off ACPI this is not surprising. Use "apm=power-off"
as kernel parameter.
See from kernel source /arch/i386/kernel/apm.c:
* Various options can be changed at boot time as follows:
* (We allow underscores for compatibility with the modules code)
* apm=on/off enable/disable APM
* [no-]allow[-_]ints allow interrupts during BIOS
calls
* [no-]broken[-_]psr BIOS has a broken GetPowerStatus
call
* [no-]realmode[-_]power[-_]off switch to real mode
before
* powering off
* [no-]debug log some debugging messages
* [no-]power[-_]off power off on shutdown
* [no-]smp Use apm even on an SMP box
* bounce[-_]interval=<n> number of ticks to ignore
suspend
* bounces
* idle[-_]threshold=<n> System idle percentage above
which to
* make APM BIOS idle calls. Set it
to
* 100 to disable.
* idle[-_]period=<n> Period (in 1/100s of a second)
over
* which the idle percentage is
* calculated.

Tried ndiswrapper?
Using the 16k stack kernel by Linuxant?
