I don't see options with those particular names.  You might want to tell
us whether you're doing that from within a logged in session (KDE,
Gnome, etc.), or the login screen (GDM, KDM, etc.).

In what way are you re-running things?  It does nothing, and you simply
pick the same option?  It reboots, and you tell it to shutdown again?
Something else?

I found that one of my boxes, long ago, wouldn't do a power off until I
played around with BIOS options regarding APM/ACPI and also playing with
kernel parameters.  See the kernel docs for information about the "acpi"
or "apm" choices available to you.  Any parameters you use are placed on
the kernel line when you bootup Linux (edit your GRUB menu items,
temporarily, using the hotkeys available to you at bootup; or edit them
permanently in the grub.conf file - you can add new entries with
different parameters with the same kernel).

See:  /usr/share/doc/kernel*/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt

And from one of my /boot/grub/grub.conf files:

title Fedora Core (2.6.17-1.2142_FC4)
        root (hd0,0)
        kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.17-1.2142_FC4 ro root=LABEL=/ acpi=force
        initrd /initrd-2.6.17-1.2142_FC4.img

Notice that I've had to add acpi=force to get ACPI to do its tricks on
this PC.

Some misunderstanding comes from translation (I am running Fedora in Italian)
When I open the window System/Stop I have three options (buttons):
Restart/Cancel/Stop from left to right. It happens when I want to stop
the computer.Sometimes it doens't stop and I have to go trhough
System/Stop/Stop procedure (always graphically)
Problem of acpi=force has been included in one computer to power off
the machine!!!
Tnx
