Just in case anyone is interested I solved this problem. The bios
version was A12 and there was an A14 available. I updated and it now
seems to work great.

It is an older thread.
You might try the other suggestion that someone gave of asking on the
Fedora list or even the Dell lists.

It goes through all the stopping this and that routine and then I
believe (as I do not have it in front of me now) it says "powering
down", then it hangs. From my experience this is where I expect it to
shut off.
My suspicion is with the ACPI call to power down is failing, but I'm
not sure how to confirm that nor fix it. I also think it is a
problem with the server and not the OS. Mostly curious if anyone
else has experience with this Dell power edge.

Have you tried pulling out the power cord?
Jonathan
OK let me clarify. I can turn the power off but what I would like
is to have the OS do it when shutting down. And actually has three
power cords and I have to pull all of them.

How are you telling the computer to shutdown or reboot? Commandline
(init 6 or init 0) or a shutdown button in a gui environment?
When you tell the OS to shutdown or reboot, what does it do? Does
it go through and kill all the processes and everything else in the
shutdown procedure and just stop at a blank screen when it is done?
