I've observed this behaviour on a Dell Latitude C610 as well. Using
2.4.19pre3-xfs, shutdown -r now and power off when BIOS screen appears. It even
ate /etc/fstab. Seems to be related to "IDE disk does not flush write cache
before power off". I inserted hdparm -f /dev/hda into /etc/init.d/halt. As well,
I switched to 2.4.19pre4-xfs and got into the habit of shutdown -h now before
power off. Haven't observed it in the mean time again.
