Okay that may well be the issue ! I cannot access stuff off of the 
internet so that figures !


So that should be 192.168.2.1 or 192.168.2.254 ?


I would need to know how your network is configured.  Please explain.

192.168.1.111 is the gateway address of the router my DHCPD server 
machine is connected to.


That's a very unusual IP address for a gateway.

I tried using the this DHCPD server on Windows and it was fine and could 
access the internet for normal operation using the 192.168.1.111 address 
so thought I had a working configuration.


Again very strange.  What IP address was Windows getting?

How do I go about this will the DHCPD server pick up that gate way 
automattically use itself or do I have to do some further routing ??


Not sure what you're asking, but the gateway needs to be some network 
device on the same subnet that route the packets onward.



 > next-server 192.168.2.1;

Yes I was wondering about next-server ?


I'm really curious how it finds the tftp server without that...

Neither of these are complete.  

The part of the journal dealing with sound device activation isn't
there.  When you do the journalctl -b, do a search (less commands) /snd
to find the part of the boot dealing with loading the sound card
drivers.

The alsa-info output confirms that alsa didn't load any modules, though
it found intel and nvidia devices.  Try redirecting the output into a txt
file that you can upload, e.g.
bash alsa-info.sh > alsainfo.txt
or edit and copy with Ctrl-A, Ctrl-C, and then paste using Ctrl-V.

I have no way to know why the modules for the cards failed, but the
suggesting by Colin to try an F31 kernel instead of an F30 kernel is a
good one.  It's possible there are compiler or key incompatibilities,
so the kernel refused to load the modules because they were improperly
signed.

The fact that you are booted into an F30 kernel also leads me to
question whether the upgrade to F31 succeeded.

PXE BOOT is working fine, the TFTP is working and the kernel is loading.

But the initrd is unable to load the inst.stage2 http(s) loaders

Thats working fine, I got menus and stuff its the second stage loader that

firefox-wayland-70.0-1.fc31 is available for F31.

FWIW, this package provides 2 files.

/usr/bin/firefox-wayland
/usr/share/applications/firefox-wayland.desktop

/usr/bin/firefox-wayland is a shell script, just like /usr/bin/firefox is.

Its only function is to set the environment variable MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1
and then exec /usr/bin/firefox.

OK, I just looked at the Alsa report and this could be your problem:-

Kernel release:5.2.9-200.fc30.x86_64

Update your kernel to 5.3.x for F31 and see if that helps.

Good Luck,

Ok, some progress!  I reconfigured the BIOS boot settings to pick the
hard drive first, and not an EFI partition.  Then I reinstalled Fedora
31 from scratch, updated it and installed the additional packages that
I need, and restored home from backup.  The machine now shuts down
normally.

It would appear that the problem is somehow related to booting an EFI
partition.  This machine is a kickass 2011-vintage Gateway machine, so
it may have some kind of EFI shutdown bug.  I use it for my daily
driver because the i7 processor and motherboard is plenty quick enough
and does not have most of the hardware bugs associated with the last n
generations of intel design errors.  Unfortunately, I cannot update the
BIOS, as Gateway is no longer in business.

So, I guess I will have to use a non-EFI boot for the forseeable future
on this machine.  As an aside, I also have 2 older Lenovo machines that
boot Fedora 31 in EFI mode just fine.

Thanks for helping me out everyone!

When you say tftp is working, do you mean the server is running or that 
the clients are getting the boot file?  You're missing the info telling 
the clients what tftp server to use.  You need a line like:

next-server 192.168.2.1;

Do you have a "pxelinux.cfg" directory on the tftp server?  That would 
be the next step.

As I've been using it, firefox-wayland appears to have a pretty severe
memory leak, at least when many tabs are open--eventually, it starts to
spill into swap space. Restarting Firefox mostly clears the problem,
for a while. I haven't tested much with firefox-x11, though. Also, when
I first started running F31, firefox-wayland used a bunch of processor
even when I wasn't doing anything. That seems to have settled down,
though. Not sure if it's just some tab I closed or what, but that was a
behavior change from the version in F30.

I have BOOTP and TFTP working but it seems to be failing on DNS and
HTTP or HTTPS.

Here's my dhcp.conf :-

It boots, and lets me log in, and issue a command (actually just 
one tap on the up-arrow) to a tab on the terminal that I set come up on 
login. Then it sits there, until I finally go away. When I get around to 
looking again (usually hours later; I haven't timed it), the command is 
there ready (it thinks) for me to hit enter.

I don't know how much RAM it has: still the original, whatever 
that was. I haven't added any.

Another thing you may consider in testing would be to try both

systemctl --force poweroff  and
systemctl --force -force poweroff

Note the caution from the systemctl man page

   When used with halt, poweroff, reboot or kexec, execute the selected
   operation without shutting down all units. However, all processes
   will be killed forcibly and all file systems are unmounted or
   remounted read-only. This is hence a drastic but relatively safe
   option to request an immediate reboot. If --force is specified twice
   for these operations (with the exception of kexec), they will be
   executed immediately, without terminating any processes or
   unmounting any file systems. Warning: specifying --force twice with
   any of these operations might result in data loss. Note that when
   --force is specified twice the selected operation is executed by
   systemctl itself, and the system manager is not contacted. This
   means the command should succeed even when the system manager has
   crashed.

Sure looks like it is a bug.  Try installing the -debug kernel?  At the
least it should give you more messages.  You should probably open a
bugzilla against the kernel with your problem if that doesn't pinpoint
the problem.  As a wild chance you could try installing a rawhide
development kernel to see if it has fixed your issue.  We are close
enough to branch that it should still work.

https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=1410333

Download the rpms for your architecture, and install them from the
directory they are in with
dnf -C install [kernel rpms]


Ok, I installed the 5.4.0.0-0.rc6.git3.1.fc32 kernel from koji, but no
