In any case, I just re-verified: "halt -p", as root, from the command line,
takes the machine down to the "Power down" message, parks the hard drive, but
leaves the rest of the system on. This is on both a linux from scratch
system and a Red Hat system, both of which have been known to power down
before (with a different kernel).

It still might be my .config, although a config that produces a kernel that
powers down for suspend but won't power down on halt, on three radically
different systems (dell, toshiba, sis)...

I'll thump on it some more later.
