The halt mode is switched off by BIOS programmers to prevent a possible lookup. On one of my affected systems I used instructions from http://www.daniel.nofftz.net/linux/ On another I am using lvcool: http://vcool.occludo.net/VC_Linux.html (available as RPM from Fedora.us/Fedora Extras I think) For my current workstation dual Athlon board I build the amd76x_pm module (Joerg Sommery posted his code on the Linux kernel mailing list) and am using that module. It works great. All tools will show you their activity by decreasing the CPU temperature when not doing hard work with the PC by 10 to 15 °C.
