Ok thats the bit I needed to see. The first part of the EIP value tells me whether you are in the APM BIOS (0x50) or the kernel (0x10) - you have an APM bios bug. Unfortunately this is very typical as windows uses the 16bit bios entry point not the 32bit one.
There are two ways around that problem. The first is to find out if there is a BIOS upgrade for your machine. The second if it only ever dies on the APM bios at shutdown is to look in the linux-kernel archive (www.tux.org has it) for a patch posted sometime over the last week that switches to 16bit mode on a shutdown
