Best guess:
Sounds like the system is switching back to the initramfs during
shutdown (normal), and then something is messed up in there and causing
dracut to abort. Since dracut is PID 1 at that point, the kernel is
unhappy because there is no init process.
Why your initramfs is messed up would be the thing to chase.
I believe I had that issue when I booted F17 using the F16 kernel. You don't
happen to have updated using the non-supported method (
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Upgrading_Fedora_using_yum ) do you?
Just a theory, though :)
