Hi,
I have to agree that this seems to be the answer because I distinctly know
that my cabinet is not an ATX one. But did you try hitting ctrl-alt-del
after this... My installation says 'Stopping all md devices' (exact words)
maybe md = magnetic disk?? Anyone got a clue?

Subject: Re: [ILUG-BOM] HALT gives problems !!
Hi buddies,
I started this thread and I think I should be proud in saying that I found a
solution myself (with some suggestions from prakesh
shetty. not blowing my trumpet here !!).
The problem seem to existing with the incompatibility with the APM enabled
motherboard and non-ATX SMPS. or in simple terms non-APM
cabinets. When the signal for power down is initiated from halt script i.e:
last line of /etc/rc.d/init.d/halt ----- eval $command -i -d -p
the -p parameter tries to shut down the power but it fails to do so because
the SMPS is not compatible.
The workaround I've adopted is to remove the -p parameter from the halt
script and the system is fine. Once you initiate the shutdown
process all the interfaces, file systems are brought down and "system
halted" is displayed.
Regards,
Seshan.
