Description of problem: Issuing "halt" command in grub prompt reboots the computer instead of shutting down completely. This happens only in UEFI systems and not in bios-legacy which works as it should. Computer does power down but restarts again.

There is a fix in http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/grub.git/commit/?id=aa7bb4607bb799b2790ea008bcfd8d6ca0a6d752 Affects some motherboards and not others.
@Barry: As grub itself has no maintainer listed, would you mind peeking at this ? :)

To be honest I never knew that there was a native grub2 halt command, but I will look at applying the fix in Cauldron. I don't think that this is worth trying to fix in Mga5 as qa have enough to do. If I was at a grub2 prompt and wanted to power off I would just use the power button! @goh lip Nice to see you still using Mageia :) Happy New Year! Barry

Fixed in Cauldron. I could not reproduce this issue on my hardware, but testing the new patched version I see no regressions (testing only in UEFI mode). So closing as it's fixed in Cauldron and unless there are any objections I think this should be a WONTFIX in Mga5.

As I said in links, this happens only for UEFI boots only (not in bios-legacy grub boots) and also in some motherboards only. It needs fixing, but I have no objection if you fix in in Cauldron and not in M5. (I already fixed mine). Thanks.
