Some systems don't reboot properly for whatever reason.  If the Syncing
disks... item goes to ``done'' then you should be synced out.  Try
compiling a kernel with 

options BROKEN_KEYBOARD_RESET

and see if that helps.

For your fsck problems, I don't know what to say; try using ``halt''
instead of reboot.  When you come back up, fsck should fix up those dirty
bits if needed, you shouldn't need to run fsck manually.
