Um...when you're running in linuxrc, there is NO INIT PROCESS!!! You're
still running in the kernel bootstrap code.
This will probably confuse the hell out of any shutdown program, which is
probably trying to switch to runlevel six, or kill init, or something
similar.
I think to halt from linuxrc, you'll need to either write some code or do
something that will cause a kernel panic, like unmount the root file-system.
