With older versions of Fedora (<16), it was easy to edit grub.conf (or menu.lst, whatever) and fix this problem by appending "acpi_sleep=nonvs" to the kernel line. With grub2, however, things have changed a bit.
To permanently add something to the kernel line to the grub2 configuration, you need to edit /etc/default/grub (which I consider to be an odd filename on a Fedora-based system) and edit the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX variable defined there. For me, it needs to read:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="quiet rhgb acpi_sleep=nonvs"
If you would like to have a more verbose kernel during boot, or disable Plymouth, you could remove the "quiet" and "rhgb" keywords respectively.

do we need to edit /etc/default/grub or /etc/default/grub.rpmnew
i edited grub.rpmnew followed by grub-mkconfig but it didn't work...any ideas?
That would be /etc/default/grub, not the rpmnew one. The rpmnew file is put there by an RPM that updated grub, but didn't want to overwrite your local modifications to /etc/default/grub.
The non-rpmnew file is *always* the file that is actually used by a program. From time to time, you should diff the rpmnew file with the non-rpmnew file and check what differences there are. You might find new options or new defaults in the rpmnew file you need to incorporate in your own version (the non-rpmnew file).
thanks for the tip...but this didn't work out for me....
can you post the content of your non-rpmnew file
