Indeed it went to the system halted message and just sat there.  I hadn't

After the reboot to rc9, I ran a make xconfig again to check that the
option was enabled, but it seems to have disappeared from the menus in
xconfig.

Why was this removed?  Or if moved, where to?
What? Was what removed?

This phrase has not existed in any .config newer than 2.6.23-rc1 here:
CONFIG_APM_REAL_MODE_POWER_OFF=y


Yes, it's still there as of 23-rc8-git5, the latest source I've built on this machine. If you start menuconfig and search for the value, (I used "/APM") you will see that it now depends on various other options. I haven't personally needed it in a long time, but there are ACPI implementations which are seriously broken. And probably some embedded hardware and/or hand-held devices now.
