I've had the same problem with shutdown not completing.
Unfortunately, I'm on a serial console, and you can't break to
debugger once getty dies (I have a patch for serial console debugger,
but installing it is a catch 22 since I have to do it remotely -- I
guess I can get a tech to go hit the reset switch...)

I'll follow up with debugger details on where it hangs.  Luckily I
have a spare box to test this on at the production facility.
