The shutdown routine acts pretty normal and it is only at the very last step which would be on blank screen then power is lost about a second or less later. > > Can you boot with verbose logging next startup, and see if anything > important/useful is displayed next shutdown? I have tried this before and didn't notice anything unusual but I will try to post log files within next 24 hours. Would the FS have been unmounted at the point of error anyway? Because the screen is blanked log files are what I can give nothing on screen. Is the file /var/log/messages the one we should be looking at. What other options apart from the usual verbose boot can I use to make sure everything about the attempt to power off is logged. Thanks.
