RE: [gentoo-user] Shutdown -h now is not powering down system.

[Richard Marz <Richard.marz@verizon.net>]

halt -dp worked for me...never tried it before. Now, I did do a couple
of things. I upgraded my kernel to 2.6.20r8 and set the acpi=force
kernel parameter. I don't know whether the acpi=force paramenter fixed
the problem. I did see the gentoo shutdown.sh script (which you can view
at the bottom of this message) and it seems to call the halt command
with the options -dp. This means that before the same halt -dp was being
used and the system did not shutdown properly. Now I manually enter the
halt -dp command and it works flawlessly. So, maybe it was the kernel
upgrade or the acpi=force kernel parameter that is causing it to work.

[ "${INIT_HALT}" != "HALT" ] && opts="${opts}p" # here it is
[ "${RC_DOWN_INTERFACE}" = "yes" ] && opts="${opts}i"
[ "${RC_DOWN_HARDDISK}" = "yes" ] && opts="${opts}h"

/sbin/halt "${opts}"

# hmm, if the above failed, that's kind of odd ...
# so let's force a halt
/sbin/halt -f
