Hi Felix, Does the slow booting have anything to do with KDE3? `poweroff` should be the same as `shutdown -h now` just like `reboot` should be the same as `shutdown -r now`. At least, I get the same behavior, but I don't know whether there are any differences between them. Curiosity, why do you umount the filesystem manually? I thought that shutdown does it for you.

Does this happen also if you first logout from the session and then shutdown? What if you switch to the terminal with "Ctrl+Alt+F1 or F2", login as root and then enter `poweroff`?
It's not a routine problem. Just now on 15.0 host big31 shutdown from greeter succeeded very quickly, unlike booting, which took 239 seconds just to load the initrd.[1] I often use the following rather than Ctrl-AltF7 and using mouse:
# alias | grep ff alias Off='cd; umount -a; shutdown -h now'
IIRC, it reduces the frequency of my encountering any shutdown hang, which I'm not sure only happens from trying to shutdown using greeter. I don't remember having such hang recently, only that they're very frustrating. Often I react by holding down Ctrl-Alt-Del until I see Dracut's response about KB repeats. Poweroff is a command I can't recall using more than experimentally.
