Any hardware specifics / syslog for that machine? shutdown -q behaves as expected here (instant power-off).

Generally, powering off can only work if APM or ACPI has been enabled - did you do that? It's not enabled by default in that revision yet (only after hrev36474).

One of the first things I do after any install is to enable ACPI. Though, I do not enable APM. Is that needed also?

I tried to upload my syslog, but it was to big. I don't know what I should be looking for in the syslog. If someone could give me an idea, I could then upload that section.

Also, I just found out that if I enter 'shutdown' without any switch, it will shutdown the system. This is not expected behavior. Entering 'shutdown' without a switch should print out the same as 'shutdown -h'.

Just installed hrev36511-alpha-rc and entering 'shutdown -q' in terminal freezes the system. System does not respond to keyboard or mouse input, and I have to do a hard reset.

Would you prefer I enter a new ticket for this?

No, enabling both is calling for trouble.

Please note that the syslog can contain output of several sessions. One is fully sufficient. You can e.g. search for a line "Welcome to the Haiku boot loader!". The output for the session starts about 20 lines above that with a line "options = 0". Normally the output for a single session shouldn't hit the attachment size limit. If it still does, please zip it (gzip, bzip2, zip,...).

Also, I just found out that if I enter 'shutdown' without any switch, it will shutdown the system. This is not expected behavior. Entering 'shutdown' without a switch should print out the same as 'shutdown -h'.

The current behavior is definitely the expected one. All commands that don't need arguments should have a reasonable default behavior when invoked without any. And it is kind of obvious what the default behavior of the shutdown command would be.

Yes please. Also check whether you can still enter the kernel debugger (Alt-Sysreq-D).
