Hello friends, I am getting a very annoying problem (and also serious one). Fedora 15 Lovelock Hangs during Shutdown and some times during Booting. So, I have to switch off the power supply. Now, this will for sure lead to problems. And, hence for two times in a month, the whole installation gone kaput!!!
Did anyone of you knows how to solve this bug. Or you know any update package which will solve it.

Please Help!!! :smile:

Do you have an old hard drive?This behaviour usually occurs with a hard drive having many bad sectors.

Aah!! Old Drive?? It's 5 years old. No there are'nt any bad sectors. Although I am able to do force power off using
systemctl poweroff -f.

A 5 year old hard drive surely has many bad sectors.This is the cause of problems.Replace it.

You can also see if ACPI is supported or not. Try messing with it in BIOS settings.
