No flashing lights, no panic. My machine locks up solid on shutdown on 
"Sending all processes TERM signal...". I've looked in /var/log/messages -- 
no clues there just a gap in time until the next boot. Also happens when 
doing "init S".

I don't think it's ACPI. No ACPI modules are removed -- the setting 
POWERSAVE_ACPI_MODULES_NOT_TO_UNLOAD is the same as POWERSAVE_ACPI_MODULES -- 
I've not changed any settings -- just applied the update from YOU. 

I also downloaded the KOTD, just in case it was a bad patch, but that exhibits 
the same problem. Boots up OK, and seems to run OK.  But locks up on 
shutdown.

Revert back to 2.5.4-54.5 and everything is fine -- apart from the security 
bug, of course :-( but I think there's a greater risk from not umounting the 
filesystems when I shut the machine down at the end of the day...

Any clues how I can diagnose this?
