Comment # 16 on bug 903560 from grant k

Downgrading to an earlier versioned kernel, from repo

    home:/tiwai:/kernel:/3.14/openSUSE_13.1

installing

    kernel-desktop-3.14.6-1.1

boots OK,

    uname -rm
        3.14.6-1-desktop x86_64

on

    shutdown -h now

the system STILL reboots instead

re-checking when booted from LiveKDE cd,

    shutdown -h now

DOES correctly shutdown, without reboot

checking current,

    rpm -qa | grep -i systemd
        systemd-210-874.1.x86_64
        systemd-devel-210-874.1.x86_64
        systemd-sysvinit-210-874.1.x86_64
        ...

downgrading to

    rpm -qa | grep -i systemd
        systemd-208-23.3.x86_64
        systemd-devel-208-23.3.x86_64
        systemd-sysvinit-208-23.3.x86_64
    mkinitrd

failing, initially/repeatedly, to shutdown/reboot

    shutdown -r now
        Failed to open /dev/initctl: No such device or address
        Failed to talk to init daemon.
    systemctl reboot
        Failed to get D-Bus connection: Failed to connect to socket
/run/systemd/private: Connection refused
    systemctl reboot -f
        Assertion 'bus' failed at src/shared/dbus-common.c:1359, function
bus_method_call_with_reply(). Aborting.
        Aborted

doing a cold reboot, boot to

    uname -rm
        3.17.2-1.g1afb260-desktop x86_64

now

    shutdown -h now

shutsdown correctly, without reboot
