Fedora on Dell Power Edge 6400

[Brian Hawkins]

It goes through all the stopping this and that routine and then I 
believe (as I do not have it in front of me now) it says "powering 
down", then it hangs.  From my experience this is where I expect it to 
shut off.

My suspicion is with the ACPI call to power down is failing, but I'm not 
sure how to confirm that nor fix it.  I also think it is a problem with 
the server and not the OS.  Mostly curious if anyone else has experience 
with this Dell power edge.
