Here are the exact messages:

If I type "reboot" at the command line, the system goes through the normal routine of shutting down services, then stops with the last line on the screen being "Restarting system."

If I type "halt" at the command line, the only difference is that the last line reads "System halted."

I've tried with both the 2.6.23.1-42 and -49 kernels.  This exact hardware rebooted/halted (& powered off) properly when F7 was installed. I will be trying the 64-bit version of F8 this morning.
