When I run reboot it outputs the following and simply sits there:

Does your /etc/inittab have the default level set to 6? If so, try
changing it to 5, which is the usual value.

No, it's set to 3, however other machines do have it set to 5.

The strange thing is, you would expect it to work run runlevel 1, reboot is a symlink to halt as follows:


[root@laptop ~]# file `which reboot`
/sbin/reboot: symbolic link to `halt'

[root@laptop ~]# file `which halt`
/sbin/halt: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.9, stripped

[root@laptop ~]# which halt
/sbin/halt

[root@laptop ~]# md5sum /sbin/halt
a53feb292a2508e899fa07db97e3829f  /sbin/halt

[root@laptop ~]# rpm -q --whatprovides /sbin/halt
sysvinit-2.86-18
