>From reading the man page on halt - when halt or reboot are called and the
system is not in runlevel 0 or 6 then the shutdown command is called with
-h or -r.  (halt == shutdown -h now, reboot == shutdown -r now)
so everything *should* work fine.  What version of halt are you running?
Mine is from the sysvinit_2.69-1.deb package.   The manpage does indicate
that halt and reboot should *never* be called directly in previous versions
os sysvinit.
