I noticed a similar thing. Typing 'halt' in an xterm does not halt the system, but hangs it. Shutting down using the shutdown menu in KDE halts the system properly. I find this a bit disturbing as halt is the way i mostly shut down my system. It is much quicker then taking the mouse and moving it to some place to click and click again.

Try "poweroff" instead of "halt" and see if it works. Your problem is not the one reported in this bug report, because for you the shutdown menu item (which should do a "poweroff") works.
This bug report is for me resolved and can now be closed, because: On 2011-05-22 when I reported this bug I didn't know that the behaviour of "halt" is changed to "halt" the system but leave the "power on". Until that time I used "halt" or "shutdown" randomly, cause for me there these commands the same. I didn't recognized that every time when I used "halt" the system doesn't power off, but when I used "shutdown" or I used the shutdown-command from the GUI-menu it powered off the system properly. But now I know that systemd changed the behaviour: halt -> halts the system but not power off the system poweroff -> shutdown the system and power off halt -p -> shutdown the system and power off init 0 -> shutdown the system and power off shutdown -P now -> shutdown the system and power off see the release notes of Fedora 15 section 3.2.1.: http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/15/html/Release_Notes/sect-Release_Notes-Changes_for_SysAdmin.html Sorry for the noise.
