I have the latest release of iPC OSX86 installed with all updates.
Running the latest voodoo Kernal.
I installed the OpenHaltRestart_1.0.3.kext to try and get sleep working, but it did not work. But the main issue that I have is that when I Shutdown the system will shutdown ok and then restart..
If I restart it works fine and everything else works ok, cept for sometimes when I boot the screen is just blue, but I fix that by moving my mouse to the bottom left corner as I have that set to sleep the monitor and that seems to get it back.
Anyone got any ideas on the shutdown problem ?

Was it shutting down properly before you installed the kext? If so, try removing the kext since it's not helping your sleep woes anyway.
Try dragging the kext to the Trash, then emptying the trash (if you haven't done this).
Use -F at the boot prompt to make it load the actual kexts instead of Extensions.mkext, where a copy of OpenHaltRestart may still reside.
This *should* correct the problem if the kext was the cause.
