No. The new shutdown reboots by going into runmode six. My Slackware
used to be configured to go into "X only" mode when runlevel six was
entered. Apparently yours is a bit different. What I did was delete the
inappropriate references to runlevel six in inittab and then add a line
from the Debian inittab provided:
l6:6:wait:/etc/rc.d/reboot
Of course I copied the Debian reboot script into /etc/rc.d. Seems to
work.
