Hi group,

Here's a switch: a computer that refuses to turn OFF. When I open a
root console and enter shutdown -h now my eee 900A  Asus Intel-n270
freezes with the message:

The system is going down for a system halt NOW!

Looking at ctrl alt F12, after the usual, normal messages there is this:

<...>
:mtrr:no MTRR for d0000000,10000000 found
:cpufreqd: term_handler     :Caught TERM signal (Terminated), forcing exit.

and at ctrl alt F7 I see:

<...>
*Stopping CPU Frequency Daemon ...      [ok]
*Storing ALSA Mixer Levels ...                   [ok]
*Killing processes using ALSA ...               [ok]
*Unloading ALSA modules ...                     [ok]

The very first thing to try is to change your /etc/conf.d/alsasound so
that it has these two lines:

# Deprecated options:
# Upstream feels, and we wholehartedly agree, that this was a silly idea
UNLOAD_ON_STOP="no"
KILLPROC_ON_STOP="no"

May not help, but that change should be made in any case.
