[Fedora-xen] RE: FC7 SYSTEM SHUTDOWN PROBLEMS

Thu Jun 28 17:34:55 UTC 2007

I experienced the same problem on a Dell Latitude D620, a Dell Inspiron 
8500, and 4 Dell 390s.  I resolved my issues by updating by bios with the 
latest from dell and reloading the OS.  I found and resolved this issue this 
way with Fedora 7 and Red Hat Enterprise Edition 5.   I believe the BIOS is 
V 2.3.0..
Hope this helps.
Good Day
