dieterv and anyone else who can duplicate this bug (I've only had it happen once), you can help by removing the 'quiet' and 'splash' options from your boot entry (I think you hit 'e' when the grub timer is going to edit the option). Then when you shut down, it should hopefully give some more output when it gets stuck, such as perhaps the step it is getting stuck on. If you do this and post the output here, we will have a lot more information to go on. Thanks!
