Wild guess:
You shut it down with "halt".
At least in OpenSuse 12.# "halt" results in exactly that, the command to use now is "poweroff".

no i shutdown with poweroff n one thing more when i have installed the system lilo was giving an error saying

fatal: filesystem would be destroyed by lilo boot sector.

which i resolved by lilo -F n i dont know weather this has to do anything with this but just in case.
but system runs fine.

thanks
