I don't want to be a trouble maker, but I don't believe this should be closed, because it isn't realy a duplicate of 132761. They may be related but not duplicates. In FC2 with kernel 2.6.8-1.521 I had no problem with poweroff working as expected every time. When I tried upgrading to the FC2 2.6.9-1.3_FC2 kernel or the 2.6.9-1.6_FC2 kernel the poweroff started failing. So there is a specific difference between the 2.6.8 kernels and the 2.6.9 kernels that broke poweroff on some systems. I currently see this issue on My Sharp MM20 laptop with the Transmetta Efficeon processor.
