All of the following result in a reboot: sudo shutdown -h now sudo shutdown -p now sudo shutdown -P now sudo halt now sudo halt -fihp now sudo init 0 I have tried acpi=force, acpi=off, acpi=noirq, noapic I tried the script from http://askubuntu.com/questions/13288...-of-a-shutdown as follows: #!/bin/bash case "$1" in stop) for i in /sys/bus/*/devices/*/power/control ; do echo on > $i ; done ;; esac exit 0 That didn't help. I also set WOL off on the NIC that was plugged in (only one of the 4 onboard NICs is connected at present, for testing) with sudo ethtool -s eth0 wol d and it didn't help, I've looked in the BIOS, and can't find a WOL section in there. To try to eliminate WOL, I also tried with neither the NIC in use for testing, nor the dedicated IPMI NIC connected, and it didn't help. I've updated my BIOS to the latest version. I've probably tried more that I've forgotten to list here - I've exhausted my options! I'm at a loose end now - no idea what to do next to further troubleshoot it, has anyone else had any similar problems on C224, or does anyone know what logs I should be inspecting, or how I can generate further debug logs?
