As I mentioned earlier, when I added acpi=off, powering off the PC on shutdown stopped working. I tried setting HALT="poweroff" in /etc/sysconfig/shutdown, but that also had no effect.
The issue is that, when the system is shutdown, a green splash is shown, so you do not see the shutdown progress. So you never know when the shutdown is complete. If you hit ESC in time the splash goes away. But these systems are powered off/on many times per day, making the ESC awkward.
Is there some way to disable the shutdown splash so that the shutdown progress can be seen?
Yes but without acpi the shutdown will never finish anyway. that's expected, as acpi manages all power management related functions.
If I could disable the splash screen so that the text written during shutdown is seen, they would see when the system prints "System halted" and then know it is OK to power off. With the splash screen hiding this information, the user needs to trust faith that the system is ok to shut down. There is a very narrow window where pressing ESC removes the splash screen. If you miss that, then you will never be able to see that the system has halted.
