this is an issue on my eeepc701 both with it's internal "SSD" and any usb stick from the beginning (jan 2008). sometimes 1 in to 2 halts never finish. and it is not about the speed. you can leave it up overnight, nothing will happen. the interesting thing is, that i have enabled ctrl+alt+del, and while it is "hanging", i press it, i get the rc.shutdown messages again and normally the box shuts down. but the filesystem is still dirty, sometimes... i know, i know, too little details, too many "sometimes". but perhaps it's one of these bugs without a real pattern, or i just cant find it. i have asked before on this list how to track this down, with no results so far. -f -- as i said before, i never repeat myself.
