Grub does not halt

I've noticed grub doesn't respond to the halt command on any of my Gentoo boxes when I hit "c" at the grub splash screen.

Not sure why it won't go into the Command Line when you hit 'c'... When you hit 'e', what happens?

HTH. Let us know.

It does go to the command line. When I type "halt", though, nothing happens.
