Here's the details:
Giving the command to shutdown is switching into runlevel 6. In
runlevel 6 all started demons are stopped (KXXnameofdemon).
Then /etc/rc.d/init.d/killall gets started (S00killall) which
kills all running processes.
Finally /etc/rc.d/init.d/halt gets started (S01reboot=link to
halt).
In /etc/rc.d/init.d/halt there are the cases "halt" and
"reboot".
The last line in /etc/rc.d/init.d/halt says:
eval $command -i -d -p
Now do a 'man halt' and you may read this:
OPTIONS
-d Don't write the wtmp record. The -n flag implies -d.
-i Shut down all network interfaces just before halt
or reboot.
-p When halting the system, do a poweroff. This is the
default when halt is called as poweroff.
In short:
Edit /etc/rc.d/init.d/halt and remove the '-p' in the last line.
This is in there because MandrakeSoft assumes everybody to have
ATX-boards.
