We just upgrading our SuSE 2.2 system to 2.4.7, and are trying to get the VMHALT ipl parameter to work, inside my zipl.conf I have the line:
parameters="DASD-200-201 root=dev/dasda1 noinitrd vmhalt=LOGOFF" at linux IPL time, I see this line being redisplayed, however after I do shutdown -h -t 1 now that work fine, the machine goes into a disabled wait state but never logs off. This worked fine on our old system (obviously with a different parm file). I saw some comments in the archives about this not working with RedHat 2.4.7, but nothing about SuSE. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
