[PLUG] Power off on shutdown: Slackware-9.1

[Anthony Schlemmer]

Not entirely related to this post but I've noticed that ever since I 
upgraded my system to SuSE 8.2, I cannot reboot my system anymore with 
the "reboot" command. When I issue a "reboot" command the system goes 
into runlevel 6 and all of the processes shutdown but the system never 
gets to the part where it actually reboots. Instead it just hange with 
the HD activity LED on constantly. I have to press the reset button to 
get my system too reboot.

I've never seen this problem with Linux before and this is on a system 
that I've had for nearly 3 years and it has run nothing but Linux and 
I've never had any problems with the box. I don' reboot very often and 
so I guess I didn't notice this feature before. If I do a halt my 
system goes down cleanly and powers down so I'm left wondering what a 
reboot does differently and why it's broken all of a sudden.
