[CentOS] Shutdown/poweroff does not power off machine

[Scot P. Floess]

Yes, it is just the Opiplex.  I've got an AMD Compaq Presario, Dell 
Poweredge SC430 and 4400 as well as a crappy ol' Latitude laptop - all 
running CentOS...poweroff works fine on them all :)  Its not a big deal - 
just annoying :)
