Hi, I am running 64-bit Debian Squeeze with kernel linux-image-2.6.32-trunk-vserver-amd64, and when I initiate a shutdown to halt/poweroff the system, either within a Gnome session or on the console, it reboots instead of powering off. I can see what looks like a kernel oops error message at the very end of the shutdown process, and then it reboots (it is too quick for me to see the exact error). My suspicion was that ACPI was the issue, so I disabled it at boot with 'acpi=off', and indeed it no longer reboots when I issue shutdown to halt it, but I lose hyperthreading and it won't power off at all. I have used Ubuntu 9.04 and 10.04 (which uses 2.6.32 kernel) to test the hardware as well, and these shut the machine down with no issue. I would use another linux-image package, but there seems to be only one for Squeeze (aside from a vserver image).
Any suggestions on a way round this? I don't want to boot with 'acpi=off', as it won't shutdown and hyperthreading won't work. Hardware is dual Xeon x5550 with 6GB ram and SSD hard disk.
