Hi:

Has anyone had a problem when initiating system shutdown from within
X, where the screen would blank as if X were terminating, but the
console mode that displays the shutdown messages never comes up, and
the computer never actually shuts down? This has happened to me
intermittently many times already. However I never have a problem if I
switch to console mode first and then shut down the computer.

Thanks.
