OK, I've investigated this and the problem _is_ Owl-related. It's
just not halt(8)- or kernel-related.
A workaround is to add "-p" to the last line of /etc/init.d/halt.
The drawback is that then you won't be able to cleanly halt the system
without also powering it off (but reboots will work). Apparently,
this is how Debian has it. No idea about SuSE. (If anyone has the
time to check, please post to the list.)
As for a proper fix, I am not sure. The information is simply not
passed down to the scripts and I don't see a clean way to pass it
other than by allocating a runlevel to "poweroff".
