I have an old computer (1997) that was used to fully halt when sent
the command 'halt' under slack12.0.
but now with slack 12.1 (new install, not upgrade) the computer
doesn't fully halt. All drives stop but the mainbord and the graphics
still run. The message on the screen is "machine halted" and i have to
push on the main OFF button on the case to end the process.

There's a kernel option for that, but you need to make a custom kernel...

OK, so you need to enable the APM or ACPI daemon.
The acpid daemon is installed by the acpid package, while the apmd daemon is
installed by the apmd- package.

Kernel option
CONFIG_ACPI_BLACKLIST_YEAR=1990
As mentioned: you have to compile your own kernel
