I know this from systems with older processors. For me a 'apm=power-off' in the /etc/grub.conf kernel-line does the trick.
would your "older" include an Athlon XP 2600+ ?
No, of course not. My older processors are pII, pIII and athlon, from 266MHz to 800MHz.

As an added data point, since the OP seems concerned about Athlon XP2600+, I am running that processor in an ASUS A7N8X2.0 Deluxe m/b ACPI BIOS Rev 1008 and it powered down just fine following the CentOS 5.2 upgrade. Here's the first stanza of grub.conf: #boot=/dev/hda default=0 timeout=5 splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz hiddenmenu title CentOS (2.6.18-92.1.1.el5) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-92.1.1.el5 ro root=LABEL=/ initrd /initrd-2.6.18-92.1.1.el5.img
