Halt error!!When I use "Halt", the system restart again.

English Install/Boot/Login

Just as Title. How could that things happen?

I used “Halt” command as root, everything was fine. But When I thought the system should be shutted down, and it restart again.

what happens if (instead of halt) you use:

shutdown -h now

see ‘man halt’ and ‘man shutdown’

The result is the same. It is just like “reboot” command. I tried all the commands, halt, shutdown…

You could try init 0 and see if you get the same result.

If you do, you may need to check your BIOS settings.

  1. Is there a hint in the logs of /var/log ??

  2. Did you install any new hardware/software just before the strangeness began?

  3. Do you have any USB devices plugged in? (Shutdown, remove all USB devices,
    reboot, and see if everything is wonderful again.)

  4. As this is probably not the FIRST instance, have you yet searched this forum
    <http://forums.opensuse.org/search.php> (and Google
    <http://www.google.com/linux>) using relevant key words? (Like maybe: linux AND
    halt OR shutdown OR reboot AND problem)
