Hi
I've the impression that for some time, kernels do not power off machines
anymore on shutdown.
The kernel prints "System halted." but the machine remains powered.
I've seen that with VMs and with real PCs.
There was a discussion some months back about this (I forget whether it
was here or cooker). Basically, someone discovered that "halt" had been
out-of-spec for years because it wasn't *supposed* to power the machine
off --- you were supposed to use "poweroff" for that. So it got "fixed",
and a bunch of people started asking "what happened ?".
