The -r on shutdown does say to "reboot", but if a shutdown signal has
been given to the virtual machine, and the console is disconnected, CP
will log off the user when Linux tries to execute the IPL.  You'll see
this message on the VM operator console:
USER DSC   LOGOFF AS  LINUX1 USERS = 98    AFTER SIGNAL

I just leave this in the inittab as SUSE supplies it, and I've never
had a problem.

Did you modify the /etc/inittab for trapping Ctrl-Alt-Del (SHUTDOWN)
signals? The default for both SLES and RHEL I believe is:
  ca::ctrlaltdel:/sbin/shutdown -t3 -r now

The -r flag signifies a reboot. It should be reset to:
  ca::ctrlaltdel:/sbin/shutdown -t3 -h now

If it is not, z/VM will signal Linux to shutdown, which it will do, but
then reboot and crash when z/VM shuts down.
