We're moving to a new hardware platform. So, I installed XP Pro on the
platform, ran tap.exe and got a pmq file. XP Pro works fine. It can
shutdown and restart the platform with no problems. XPe built from the pmq
file with all of our custom and required components does almost everything
correctly. But, it cannot shutdown or restart the platform. During FBA, I
need to manually restart the platform when it tries to restart. When FBA is
complete, it works correctly, as I said, but it will not shutdown or
restart. I've tried the GUI, shutdown.exe and XPePM.exe.

I hope there is something obvious that I've missed. Has anyone seen this
before?

Time for windbg, I guess.

Interesting. When the restart or shutdown hangs up, you can still get in
with the kernel debugger and see stuff. And the '.reboot' command reboots
the system. The kernel debugger must reboot the machine in a different way.
My guess is that a device driver is not shutting down correctly. I'm
chasing that idea now.

Yup. Bad driver. One of ours. Pull the driver, all is well.
