Trouble shutting down vm on guest halt

I'm having some problems getting kvm to exit when the guest OS has halted.

Specifically I'm running CentOS 5.2 as the guest on ubuntu 8.1.'
I've noticed that 32 bit windows xp and 64 bit ubuntu 9.10 can power down a vm as expected.

Any idea where I should look for documentation on how to tickle kvm ACPI the right way from CentOS?

I have CentOS 5.3 on CentOS 5.3 and the shutdown on that works OK, so it seems probable that this is a host/KVM side issue. What version of KVM are you running? Oh, and you aren't running it with -no-acpi are you?
