I also get this bug with my K6-III/400 and Soyo motherboard. I have posted a screenshot showing the stack dump etc. at http://www.freewebaccess.co.uk/home/glancaster/scrnshot.gif Hope this help. - Garry Lancaster.
Another report of this bug (though for Red Hat Linux 6.1), removing '-p' from the halt script did not help. Motherboard: Gigabyte GA586AX F2 CPU: AMD K6-3/400 BIOS: Award 4.51PG Video card: Diamond Viper AGP V550 8MB 1.95e4904 Hard drive: Western Digital 20 Gb 7200 RPM EIDE WD205BA Network card: Intel Etherexpress Pro+ pci 10/100 Customer shuts down with 'shutdown -h now'. Process hangs at 'Power Down' output line. The only way out is to Ctrl+Alt+Del, which prints "Stopping all md devices" then reboots. Turned off all APM features in BIOS, booted with apm=off as boot parameter. Still same behavior.

I got this error also, that was because i has both AT and ATX power support on the motherboard. But the motherboard was connected to the Powersupply with a AT connector. When the machine tried to turn it self off.. then this error appeard. Could this be some of yours problem?
This is, in its roots, a bios problem.
