RH 8 not going down gracefully

[Joseph McCarty]

With a fresh install of RH 8, from either the KDE or GNOME desktop, I Iog out, and on the login screen I select System-->Shutdown.  My screen goes black, the computer remains on but with no disk activity.  After a minute, I shut down by powering down.  Rebooting, the boot process has to run a file system check on /, and restore the other partitions from their journals.

On a different box with a slower processor, less RAM, a different video card, and RH 7.3, I never had this problem.

Any ideas?

ps--I think this is an OS thing, but just in case, the video card is Number Nine Revolution IV (T2R4), its driver is i128, and the monitor is a Viewsonic PF790
