I saw the same thing in 2.6.8 host & guest, from the SuSE distro. If you run your UML as root, when the system call for shutdown/reboot is given, it is executed faithfully by taking a flying leap into the BIOS, never to return. When not as root, permission is denied, and the kernel does other more reasonable things like exiting. I didn't investigate very thoroughly, but it looks like the host architecture specific shutdown code is supposed to be omitted in UML, but isn't, at least for you and me. James F.
