Bug Description

I was testing the Edgy RC live CD on a Xeon machine with EMT extensions (hp DL380) and after telling it to shut down from the menus, it goes through the graphical progress and then simple stops at a flashing cursor.
At this point, hitting ctrl-alt-del says it is killing rc6, then shortly after it goes back to a flashing cursor.

It's sitting at the "Press ENTER to reboot" prompt ... I guess that prompt has gone missing somehow?

I have seen this behavior on an HP DL385. I should note that the bootsplash graphics for the 6.10 rc image were the caramel-colored dapper ones during boot.

The system did reboot once I hit return a few times. But I was just given a blank screen with a blinking cursor, and no prompt that I ought to do this.

That would make sense, one of our other sysadmins (Nick) found that if he hit enter a couple of times it did reboot.

Seen on powerpc 20061025 too.

The problem where the prompt is displayed but pressing enter has no effect is bug 58503. In the original report, no prompt is displayed; this sounds like a separate (possibly fixed) issue.

No longer the case with Feisty herd 3
