I've had the same problem and I blamed it on my kernel config and that 
it lacked APM like my main system.  I then tried to include APM in the 
same configuration and poweroff works fine.  However, halt gives results 
similar to what you are experiencing.

Try compiling the kernel with APM enabled (I've got all of the APM 
options off and it works fine).  It increased my kernel by about 17kiB 
but now I can poweroff, as long as I use the poweroff binary, not halt.

I've currently got x86 uClibc/busybox/kernel 0.9.16/0.60.5/2.4.20 but 
plan on updating to uClibc 0.9.19 as soon as I have my new build system 
online.
