Public bug reported: Issuing "halt" command in grub prompt reboots the computer instead of shutting down completely. This happens only in UEFI systems and not in bios-legacy which works as it should. Computer does power down but restarts again.
Also, this happens in some mother boards but not others. Affects the following Ubuntu grub versions - (all current) but tested on Kubuntu Xenial - 2.02-beta2-32ubuntu1 Kubuntu Wily - 2.02-beta2-29ubuntu0.2 Machine tested is..
