Just a thought - have you tried to apply all Fedora 15 updates yet? Perhaps something power-related has been addressed in the kernel, or in the power-related packages.

hi,atreyu
i did all update,but i still exists. I wonder if your laptop is asus,someone consider it's problem with NV chipset,but i don't know how to solve it !

Maybe try adding the reboot=p kernel boot parameter to your kernel command line arguments.

You can do this one of two ways:

1. edit your /etc/grub.conf and put the above parameter in the appropriate place for your default kernel, save it and reboot

2. power off, power back on, interrupt the grub boot process, highlight your kernel and append the above to your kernel boot line, then boot the kernel.

in either case, once your system is back up, try a reboot.
