Ah yes that's more like it - thanks.

I see. I think only the radeonhd driver supports our R500+ cards so
we are stuck with that for the time being. GDM transitions aren't
that important.

Yes - Fedora 11 but with our own initrd that configures the network rootfs.

I see. On closer inspection it looks like that is being called but I just get
a blank black screen when shutting down. I suspect this is related to the way
busybox is setting up the initial console compared to when booting from the
Fedora initrd. I will try and get some more debug info out of it.
Thanks for the help.

Pretty sure radeon supports r500 cards fine. At this point, I don't
think radeonhd supports anything that radeon doesn't in fact (I could
be wrong though).

Should work fine then if you switch to radeon.

Hmm, I don't think it would have anything to do with that. Not sure
what the problem could be though.
You might try going to runlevel 3 or 4 and then running the commands
in plymouth-shutdown manually and see if it works.
If it doesn't, throw a --debug on the end and see if it says why.
