Hello,
I have a laptop, in a docking station. When running RHEL/Centos 7 I could shut it down and power it off by using 'shutdown -h now' In did a new install of Centos 8 (and also RHEL 8) and when I do a "shutdown -h now" it just reboots (behaves the same as if I'd do a reboot).
Is that a known issue?
thanks,
Ron

You can check 'last -x' do ensure that You really send a shutdown signal. Is it dell docking station, tha new one with usb-c? It always powers on the laptop as soon I switch the power cord and sometime reboots a laptop insted of shutting it down. It is my work pc and I'm not allowed to boot Linux in any way, so I'm not sure if it's a Windows thing, or the station itself is malfunctioning.

I'll check that

It is a Dell, but an older one. But it seems like the same issue. When not in the docking station, it behaves like it is supposed to. I did check the bios for "power up on AC/usb/etc" except for WOL that's all set right.
It only behaves like this when in the docking station."

Hmm. I have a few of these docking stations, I mever had that issue before, I installed/booted all kinds of Linux distros on it, never was an issue until RHEL/Centos 8

So I tried a few things, I have a few docking stations, and they all seem to show that problem.
Can't shut it down, remotely, while in a docking station. Also, when in a docking station and using the laptops keyboard and LCD screen, and power down the laptop in RHEL/Centos, just results into a reboot. It does that with RHEL/Centos 7 and 8.
When I boot it with Centos 6, the behaviour is as expected, it just shuts down. So I guess this issue was "introduced" after Centos 6 somewhere?
thanks,
Ron

We faced the same problem on one machine. We had to disable wake up on lan in bios settings. After that, the machine stayed shut down with the "poweroff" command.

Hmm...
I have to try that .. and see what happens. It would be annoying though.
Half the time I use that laptop as a "head-less" machine, do a WOL, run things with redirected X11.. and when done, shut it down.
So it sounds like a combination of a linux issue, combined with a BIOS issue? The thing is, I tried that yesterday, I installed Centos 6, and it doesn't show that issue.
thanks!!
