What is all this happening?

The system is trying to switch off your machine, which can be done if one uses ATX type main board. You don't seem to be having it, so it is giving this message. Nothing to worry about. Just remove the "-p" switch from your "halt" command and things will be fine. (check in /etc/rc.d/init.d/halt)
