Another thing is the last code about halt/poweroff/reboot.

# reboot / poweroff / halt, depending on the argument passed by init
# if something invalid is passed, we halt
case "$1" in
   reboot|poweroff|halt) "$1" -f ;;
   *) halt -f;;
esac


$1 is undefined here, so always go to halt -f. why not take decision 
from $RUNLEVEL?, this variable is defined at this stage.

like in rc.shutdown:

if [[ $RUNLEVEL == 0 ]]; then
     poweroff -f
else
     reboot -f
fi

And we need to use poweroff and not halt, it just stop the system 
without calling acpi_poweroff().
