Description Giorgos Keramidas 2004-08-16 13:40:10 UTC 
The reboot command when called as "halt" does not allow kernel dumps.
The message printed is:

    halt: cannot dump (-d) when halting; must reboot instead

The same command allows the user to specify both -d and -p options
though, which attempt to generate a kernel dump and then promptly power
off the machine using ACPI.

I've marked this as a change-request since it's not a real *bug*; it's
more something that seems "natural" to me and I have in my local src
tree for a while now.

Fix: The following minor patch makes RB_HALT and RB_POWEROFF equivalent
regarding kernel dumps.

%%%
How-To-Repeat: 
        # halt -d
        # reboot -dp
