I have the same problem on an old (1998) pentium2; I have to walk around behind the machine, hold the poweroff, and pull the power cord out for a few seconds; if I put it back too soon, the machine reboots. FC6 does not do this on any of three other machines, nor does FC6.ppc on an old (2002) G3 iBook. -- Beartooth Staffwright, PhD, Neo-Redneck Linux Convert Fedora Core 6; CXO 5.0.1; Pine 4.64, Pan 0.119; Privoxy 3.0.3; Dillo 0.8.6, Galeon 2.0.3, Epiphany 2.16, Opera 9.02, Firefox 1.5 Remember I know precious little of what I am talking about.
