While debugging installation on a new server (a Dell PowerEdge 1750), I discovered that the "shutdown" option after the PXE install does not actually shutdown the system. Rather than shutting down, it drops to a BusyBox shell, as if an error has occurred.
Looking through the default scripts, it appears that when "shutdown" is selected, the post install script inserts the command "shutdown -h now", but the shutdown script which is part of the PXE install does not understand the '-h now' option and rather just falls through to an "exit 1", i.e. drop out with an error. The fix for this is to either change the final command to just "shutdown" (which invokes poweroff), or else fix the shutdown script to understand the '-h now' option, as it does with the '-r now' (i.e. reboot) option. Finally, this was with SystemManager 3.1.4 as shipped with OSCAR 2.3, but still seems to be the same in the current CVS source. Thanks Frank P.S.
