Shutdown restarts my system.
 
HI All

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.

Yeah I thought of that, only I dont know how to remove it yet as have never done it before :-(

Ok think I worked it out.

Have removed openHaltRestart.kext.

Will test

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.
