1 I had that compiled in. I also had it not compiled in.

3 But I think that's the problem. It's not that it isn't shutting down, it's freezing without
4 unmounting the filesystems (i.e. there is not [ok] at the end of the "Unmounting Filesystems"
5 line). When I reboot, fsck forces a check on my root because of unproper dismounting. Any other
6 ideas?

8 Help ... I need somebody ... Help ... You know I need someone ... Helllllllp!
