You run dmesg from the CLI (Konsole/Terminal) once you have booted up. if you 
just run dmesg from the CLI you get all of the bootup stuff displayed in the 
terminal. Running dmesg | grep acpi limits the output to what just applies to 
acpi.

This is a horrible problem, and seems to appear with more recent kernels, and 
just on some hardware. My original kernel that was installed from the cdroms 
for FC5 still shutsdown ok, but kernels 2.6.17. and later have this shutdown 
problem, and in my case on FC5 acpi=force added to the kernel lines 
in /boot/grub/grub.conf seems to fix the problem.

Hope we can fix this for you, as it's an inconvenience having to push the 
button to shutdown.
