If you're running a SMP box why on earth are you running Windows 98? Get
Windows2000 on there so you can at least use your second processor. :)

To do an auto poweroff in linux, you'll need to enable APM, at least use APM
calls to shutoff computer. I thought SMP and APM were incompatible, but if
Win 98 can shut off your box than the mother board supports at least some of
the functionality. Perhaps Windows 98 is using ACPI instead? 

As for the functionality of the power button, there is often a bios setting
that controls what the powerbutton does. Instant-Off, Delay then off,
suspend, etc. Perhaps it's set to suspend and shouldn't be?
