It's just not halt(8)- or kernel-related. A workaround is to add "-p" to the last line of /etc/init.d/halt. The drawback is that then you won't be able to cleanly halt the system without also powering it off (but reboots will work). Apparently, this is how Debian has it. No idea about SuSE. (If anyone has the time to check, please post to the list.) As for a proper fix, I am not sure. The information is simply not passed down to the scripts and I don't see a clean way to pass it other than by allocating a runlevel to "poweroff". -- /sd
