One more observation that may help: When I boot from grub directly into single user mode, and then do "shutdown -h now", it is correctly powering off.
When I boot into multi user mode, then switch to single user mode via "init 1", then do "shutdown -h now", it is rebooting. Jochen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
