This problem also affects my Compaq Evo 500 (BIOS 686Y2 v3.04). Adding "INIT_HALT=poweroff" to /etc/default/halt as is a valid workaround and is still needed with the latest non-PAE 32bit kernel:
$ uname -a Linux famille 3.2.0-26-generic #41-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jun 14 16:26:01 UTC 2012 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux @markba, thanks for the workaround. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/950981 Title: shutdown does not power off server To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/950981/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
