boot Kernel Parameter “acpi=off noapic” through GRUB

[Arun Williams]

When I pass a boot Kernel Parameter “acpi=off noapic” through GRUB, my server doesn’t power down completely. I.e. the server doesn’t cut down power automatically, but holds at “Power Down” (message).
   
  Please let me know if this is an expected behavior. Also let me know what does that noapic means
