CentOS - Oct 2013 - HP annoyances

Apparently, a BIOS setting of "last power state" means something
different
to HP than to everyone else. It seems to be that poweroff gets a response
of "oh, you couldn't *possibly* want to turn me off! You just want me
to
restart!"

Why do you post this statement to this list?
Also, poweroff does not mean for a server that it's not on power, it's 
just not started. BMC, fans etc. are running.
