I've seen this in the past when shutdown tries to unload modules, usually 
those having to do with ACPI modules ac battery button fan processor and 
thermal.

you can (as root) rmmod each of these in turn and see if the system 
locks up.

Thanks for the suggestion John. I managed to unload button, battery, ac, edd, 
fan, and thermal without any trouble. I couldn't unload processor as it said it 
was in use. Is there something more I can do to try to force that, perhaps?

I also realized that my sysadmin knowledge is lacking; I tried to use insmod to 
put them back in place and that didn't work. Not sure why, would like to know 
though.

Cheers,
Simon
