I too have experienced issue this with the latest kernels. The alt-sysrq dance wouldn't work to interrupt the error loop or get it to shut down. Until the bug is tracked down, I found that if I ifdown the ethX's and rmmod all ethernet modules prior, my laptop will shutdown without issue. It's kinda a drag, but better than having to hit hard reset. hth, -srlinuxx
