Comment 4 Harald Hoyer 2013-04-08 06:42:22 UTC 
very strange... "poweroff" is missing from the initramfs. 
Can you append /var/log/dracut.log?

Run:
# dracut -f

and check, if poweroff is in your initramfs:

# lsinitrd | grep poweroff

I did a complete reinstallation of Fedora 18 and now its working.
The error started to appear when I upgraded from kernel 3.7 to 3.8.

You can close this ticket. Thanks for your help and time.
