If you take another look at the attachment sent by Bill, the cultprit seems to be selinux not allowing shutdown.  However, the updates might have fixed it?  Don't know why but I have seen several of my rawhide machines doing this, but I did not bother to check what was going on and just pressed power button so that they could shutdown all the way.  

I know my bad, but I see it only on two of the five machines and others do shutdown properly so it seems to me that not all users out there are experiencing the same trouble(s).

Regards,

Antonio
