When I issue the "shutdown now" command, the system always hangs just after "Unmounting network filesystems".  I get the OK message from that command but it doesn't go any further.  Is this a power management issue?  Do I need to investigate some more what my motherboard uses for power management? I think I compiled APM into the  kernel, maybe I need to put ACPI instead?

BTW, if I do "Shutdown -r now" to reboot, or simply "reboot", everything's fine.  It's only when I want to actually shut down that this happens.

(I have an ASUS P7B-F motherboard w/a Pentium III-500MHz CPU)
