I didn't notice any power-down problems with the new kernel. But then 
again, I am using a pre-2001 motherboard, so I have to use "acpi=force" 
as a start-up parameter. Try using "acpi=force" and see whether that 
restores your power-down. I agree that if you're using a more modern 
motherboard, you shouldn't have to do that. But it might give a better 
clue to what, if anything, is missing from the new kernel.
