Just changed my kernel line in grub.conf to kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-1.667 ro root=LABEL=/1 acpi=ht based on Comment #4 in BZ 139211 (don't care for "rhgb quiet"), rebooted, then shut down to test -> SUCCESS! Actually powered down by itself for the first time since sometime in FC3 test series. Posted a comment in 132761 which is the master bug for this problem. Now, since my machine is a plain Athlon 1GHz, and not hyperthreaded, WHY does this work? :-) Phil
