It's almost impossible to guess what your problem is.  Obviously
shutdown works.  Did you install the boot selector?  Please:

1.  Shut down the machine (with shutdown, not halt).
2.  When you see "Press any key to reboot", turn the power off.
3.  Turn the power on.
4.  Describe *exactly* what happens.
