So init knows that you want to shut down/reboot.. My guess is that one of the "early" init scripts are hanging. To verify that this is the case, you could try to execute each of the scripts in /etc/rc6.d/* scripts in asciibetical sequence. I suspect something like this would do the trick: for file in /etc/rc6.d/K*; do echo == Running $file ...; $file stop; done If my suspicion is correct, then one of the scripts will hang...
