[SOLVED] Shutdown always reboots

[ssilbert]

Shutdown always reboots. I've tried commandline shutdown, poweroff, going down to runlevel 1, killing off processes...
I read about a bug that involves whatever process shows the logo in booting up, shutting down but that was solved. It doesn't look like others are having this problem.
I'm running dual-boot with Windows 7 and that shuts down fine. Here's what I have:

LXDE desktop (couldn't stand Gnome 3)
Kernel: 3.4.3-1.fc17.x86_64
Intel BOXDH77DF Motherboard
Intel Core i7-2700K Sandy Bridge 3.5GHz Quad-Core Desktop Processor

Thanks for any help.

I've seen this issue posted sometimes (not recently in this forum) and IIRC the solution involves some settings in the BIOS. Have you Googled for it?

Thanks for replying so quickly. I've googled the heck out of it though it's hard to find the right search terms.
When I tried
# systemctl halt
it just hung on the Fedora logo. In some other forum I read that that logo is part of plymouth but I don't know how to troubleshoot plymouth. Shutdown, halt, poweroff are simply linked to systemctl. This is the first system I've had with systemd on it.
Since Windows 7 effectively powers down the computer, I'd be surprised if it's the BIOS. Both OS's share that.
BIOS, systemd, systemctl, plymouth... I don't really know where to start...

halt won't poweroff the system. Must be poweroff.
Anyway, Windows is different from Linux so a BIOS setting may affect one and not the other.
If I find something about it I post.

Also, do you have older kernels to try?

secipolla, your google search had "instead" in it. That's better than my searches. It turns out you got it on the first try. Though one forum had wireless daemons causing the exact same problem, another said to turn off power management settings in the BIOS. I changed
"Wake on LAN from S4/S5" to "<Stay Off>".
That did the trick. Thanks!!!!
