I've only seen it on machines running X-windows. The machine in my office,
for instance, behaves correctly if it's not running X-windows but reboots
on halt if X-windows was running.

Another machine around here hangs at the halt prompt; you have to push
the reset button.

I saw this until I took wd1 out of my configuration; I only have one
IDE drive. When I omitted wd1, the message went away.
