commit 7d41f96b2c95fc745d21d93c6206db856b0e5bd1
Author: Zeckmathederg <[email protected]>

    Usage: Fix up scripts, commands, and add Agetty configuration.
    
    The Udev service(s) weren't what was causing shutdown hangs. It was the
    kernel. The system did not want to shut down if the kernel modules were
    loaded and devices hotplugged, no matter if udevd was killed before
    shutdown.
    
    I still don't know what the kernel option required for smooth operation
    is, but copying my main kernel config over made everything work fine.
    The base options must be edited.
    
    The changes to the udev services were much needed though to be more
    correct and reduce any complications.
