Kernel OOPS when shutting down

This is a problem relating to using APM on a desktop machine. I want the 
power to be shutoff after a system halt. I appreciate this is a not 
really related to apmd or linux on laptops, but perhaps someone can help ?

I am running kernel 2.0.36 and when I configure it to shut power off 
after a shutdown I get a kernel OOPS message just after the System Halted 
msg. This only occurs when the PM management is enabled in the BIOS.

The BIOS is award BIOS, but I am not sure of the revision number, and I 
am not sure of the motherboard type.

Can anyone offer any advice ? I would rather not have to upgrade to 
kernels 2.1/2.2 but I am happy to upgrade the apm_bios.c or any other 
file needed in 2.0.36. I can find out the exact BIOS and motherboard 
types if this is relevant.
