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.
