Please upgrade to the rawhide kernel.
Is this still a problem with the final FC1 kernel ?
The FC1 kernel fixed the problem (vmlinuz-2.4.22-1.2105.nptlsmp). However, system shutdowns occansionally hang just after disk halting, with or without "apm=power-off" option in grub.conf. I guess a new bug entry is in order for this.
Yeah, please open up a new one. (Better yet, do a search first, this sounds familiar, there may already be an open bug for this).
