X58 Platinum ShutDown restarts

When I hit shutdown, it restarts. When I hit Sleep, it shuts down. What wrong? I am using OpenHaltRestart.kext.

Field Note #1 @DocShadow 2009-09-04

Is this a new board that you just set up?

If so, check the shutdown/restart connectors.

This problem is not an hardware problem of the real switches connected to the switch jumper on mainboard.

Seems that it is an software problem that OS X calls an shutdown that does in real an restart.
Some part of DSDT may be involved but i dont know which part.

Also the problem isnt an problem only of those newest mainbords & Snow Leo special, i also seen that problem in insanely forum for complete different (older) mainboards & 10.5 also. Not an very often problem , but know i think.

I would search the (at this time much bigger) insanely forum for that shutdown restart switched problem.
