Doesn't work for me:

For me (kernel-power 42) it just performs a regular shutdown.

When one types "reboot" using root privileges one can see that there is a -h (halt) option somewhere in the script running instead of a -r (reboot).

Where is that stored? Maybe we can revert it back to reboot...

Is "reboot" a shell function or is it really that binary file /sbin/reboot?

I'm giving this a bump as I still have this problem, has anyone found a solution they would care to post (other than the workarounds that have been posted)?

There is another app called "simplereboot"

Same problem here... it happens with x-terminal "reboot" as well as with simplereboot. I gotta try the workarounds, anyway.

Another strange symptom is that sometimes (rarely indeed) device reboots instead of shutting down

First time it occurred I missed alarm clock in the morning (device stopped on PIN screen and that way it seems no alarm can be started).

Now I check twice if device really halted before going to sleep
