Got the solution - originally, I've installed the system with --noapic \ --noacpi \ Omitting those options, I get this into the xml used during installation: <features> <acpi/><apic/><pae/> </features> and then after installing and starting acpid, shutting down works like a charm.
What was hard though, was to add those features later in the xml, even installing acpid wasn't any use, had to reinstall with the above procedure. But now I know how to proceed. Thanks, Regards Michael

What /etc/init.d/acpid restart return or show in /var/log/messages? Minimal should work fine as that's what I've always used to provision KVM guests.

Ive had issues with acpid starting on first install as its blocked by another daemon. Rebooting or installing during kickstart has solved it for me. - TreyI've done that numerous times, no success. Will try with the regular version of Centos 6 and report again. Regards Michael
