Got the solution - originally, I've installed the system with
--noapic \
--noacpi \
Omitting those options, I get this into the xml used during installation:
<features>
<acpi/><apic/><pae/>
</features>
and then after installing and starting acpid, shutting down works like a
charm.
What was hard though, was to add those features later in the xml, even
installing acpid wasn't any use, had to reinstall with the above
procedure. But now I know how to proceed.
Thanks,
Regards
Michael
