I have had two problems from the first with FC6 on admittedly old Dell (circa 2000) hardware.
- Even though the shutdown command shutdown the hardware in FCn n<6 and
today in Ubuntu, it refuses to shut down in FC6. That is all the commands you would expect are executed in shutdown, I can hear the tel tale click but the computer power is not shut off. acpi on or off makes no difference.
poweroff
poweroff still does not shut off the power to the machine.
I have the same problem on an old (1998) pentium2; I have to walk around behind the machine, hold the poweroff, and pull the power cord out for a few seconds; if I put it back too soon, the machine reboots.
FC6 does not do this on any of three other machines, nor does FC6.ppc on an old (2002) G3 iBook.
