Enter stop in the qemu console, we can see the vm is stopped. 3. Enter system_powerdown in the qemu console 4. Nothing happens. Can you please give a prompt or something else when the vm isn't allowed to powerdown or reset? Looking through old bug tickets ... I don't think this was really a bug. If you stop your guest, of course the guest operating system can not powerdown anymore. It should powerdown once you resume your guest with "cont".
