Sorry. I do not have an answer to your question exactly. But I see 
you've also posted about yum not working. And I can see why that would 
be. The way yum is setup in FC2, nolonger works as FC2 is considered too 
old, so it's no longer supported for updates. Considering you have a 
P4,  I suggest you resintall fresh with the latest version of fedora, 
FC4. From there the list would be happy to assist you further. This may 
very well also fix your shutting down problem.
