Sometimes arch doesn't poweroff. It's not hardware, because windows and mandriva on the same machine do it always.
The system is stable and I don't see any errors or something strange.
What useful info can I provide?
This task depends upon

poweroff is acpi related and in .21 a new acpi subsystem was imported, could be it broke your pc, i cannot fix this.

your advice is to update kernel? it's strange, i doubt it help and it is not thing, for what i like linux.
all i want is solid and stable base
mandriva had 2.6.17 and all was OK, i installed 2.6.20 and all is OK

well, my advice is don't report bugs that are caused by old software, arch is designed to be latest and greatest, we don't support older kernels, if you have problems with them try to upgrade.
im pretty sure its an acpi issue, poweroff is only handled by apm or acpi, you hardware doesn't work with this kernel version you are running, that happens from time to time and is mostly an upstream issue, that we as small distro cannot handle if the user is not presenting us a patch that fixes it.
