Description of problem: Since update to systemd 217 today, poweroff or 'systemctl poweroff' doesn't shutdown the system, instead, it reboots. This happens on two systems (2 Dell computers, one desktop and one laptop) where I have Cauldron. This bug is already reported on systemd-devel ML http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-October/024707.html Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): systemd 217 Reproducible: Steps to Reproduce:

Hmm, interesting... Seems from the ML that the user reporting it is on v210 of systemd... but the bug report definitely mentioned 216 and 217 versions, so I guess we have to assume systemd indeed is to blame here. I'll see what i can find.

So annoyingly I cannot reproduce here, with latest systemd+kernel. Tried a few times this morning and all poweroff's were real poweroffs. I am using UEFI tho', which might change these things. Will keep an eye on things as the upstream bug report seems to have a user who is pretty good at poking around at things. If you can help out in that regard comments here or there are appreciated that might offer any insights :)
So, at least one cause was found upstream for this behaviour. I'm not 100% sure I'm convinced it's the only cause, but could you check the latest build and see if it works for you. If you are using systemd in your initrd, (which, if I read the upstream report correctly, is a pre-requisite for this behaviour), then don't forget to rebuilt it with dracut -f. Let me know how you get on.

I've just tested on the laptop, and poweroff works fine now with systemd-217-6.mga5. I will test tonight the other affected computer at home. > > If you are using systemd in your initrd, (which, if I read the upstream > report correctly, is a pre-requisite for this behaviour), then don't forget > to rebuilt it with dracut -f. > > Let me know how you get on. It is fixed even without rebuilding the initrd. Thanks for your help.
poweroff works fine on my second system, so closing. Thanks.
