3. ACPI trouble with power off. Those people will get "System halted" with kernel messages activated and can fix it by tweaking their ACPI kernel settings

Not true here. I have a Toshiba Satellite P105-S6147 (dual-core T2060, 1024MB DDR2 SDRAM) and due to the (know) buggy BIOS, the boot time kernel option acpi=off must be included or I don't have working sound. And I have the "System halted" as the final displayed message on shutdown, and the laptop does not turn off - I have to do that manually with the power button.
