I have the same problem. When I execute "shutdown now" I get Switching to run level 1. Please enter root password or press Ctrl+D to continue. When I press Ctrl+D I get init: No more processes left on this level. If I execute shutdown with any other switch e.g. -h or -H or -P I get the help of shutdown. If I combine the switch with "now" I get the same output as above. I can reboot using the reboot command.
