I need to try adding "apm=power_off" to grub on my K6-2 box to see if that fixes the problem. I'll let the list know if that's the cure for FC.
Adding "apm=power_off" to grub fixes the shutdown problem I encountered using OpenSUSE 10.2 and FC-6 for my two old boxes. (One with an Asus SP97-V motherboard, AMD K6-2 CPU, Award BIOS. The other is a Gateway with 600 MHz P3 600 MHz CPU, PHoenix BIOS.) Hope this helps solves your problem, too.
