Unable to shutdown on fresh install of Jaunty running on i686
This server is a fresh install of Jaunty running on i686.
As root, shutdown -r now tells me it's going to reboot. But instead of my ssh session being disconnected I am left logged on.
ps ax reveals the following new processes:
18691 ? Ss 0:00 /bin/sh /etc/init.d/rc 6
18695 ? S 0:00 sh /etc/rc6.
Running strace -f shutdown -r now gives this final output:

halt, poweroff, and shutdown -h now all fail in the same way.
Prior to the fresh installation this server was running 8.10 which I think had the same problem. At least, during power maintainance I remember one of the boxes having unexplained shutdown problems and we had to switch it off using the physical chassis button.
I am at a loss to explain it!
