With recent updates I got serious troubles when shutting down and rebooting a machine from a desktop menu (no problem when a desktop session is not present). What I could find is filed as https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=498514 Am I the only one seeing that or this is wider affliction?
I "charged" that to hal as hald-addon-input appears to be a stuck process but I am not sure what is the real culprit.

Looks like various processes are stuck in VT_WAITACTIVE; this may or may not be related.

As I said in another email previously I have problems rebooting the machine. It get stuck right after the progress bar reaches the end. I waited 5+ minutes and nothing happens unless I press CTRL+ALT+DEL. Is there a way to log what happens after a reboot command ?
Thanks, Enrico Accenti

Some information. If you enabled SysRq key by placing in /etc/sysctl.conf 'kernel.sysrq =1' (this file is read while you are booting) then you can use that key (Ctrl-Alt-PrScr + another key and try Ctrl-Alt-PrScr-H to see what is available) to collect something in logs provided that logging is still functional.
