FC6 not shutting down -SOLVED

[Aaron Konstam <akonstam sbcglobal net>]

I have been complaining for months that FC6 would not shutdown my
machine and cut off the power. I decided I had to solve this problem.
In the end it turned out to me very simple.
First to make sure the BIOS had ACPI enabled.
Then in checking the boot messages I noticed the acpi was being turned
off and the message said to use lacpi on the kernel boot line. When I
did the machine could shut off.

So why did I not find this earlier. Well it is my fault but I still
don't know why FC6 shut off acpi in the first place. Any ideas out
there?
