I have had this poweroff problem on my FC6 machine. I complained enough
about it on the list. From my experience the problem will not be
corrected by typing poweroff or shutdown -h now

It is an acpid problem and that is where to look for a solution. For
example is ACPI turned on in the BIOS, is the acpid script being run,
etc. Sometimes a parameter like lacpi must be placed on the kernel line
of grub menu. The only difference with my situation is the power never
went off while in the situation of the OP the power sometimes did go
off.
