[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#630740: shutdown -r does not go to grub menu but restarts the kernel

[shirish शिरीष]

Package: sysvinit
Version: 2.88dsf-13.10
Severity: important

*** Please type your report below this line ***

Hi all,
  To generate this, simply do :-

$ sudo shutdown -r now

(sudo has admin/root privileges)

Till couple of weeks back it was working normally. By normal meaning,
it would shutdown and then go to grub menu and allow the user (i.e. me
to make a choice)

Now it restarts the kernel after shutting down, not going to grub menu.

Would be glad to provide any info. asked.
