It is, because APM is considered unstable for SMP machines. You can
force a power off by passing an option to the kernel in grub. I used it
with RH 8 or 9 and in worked without a problem for a long time.
Unfortunately I forgot the details  :-)

You may search the RH 8 and RH 9 list. You will find a message about the
topic.
