Well, just tried a reboot from a console and it hangs there too.
I just get the system message that the system is going down for a
reboot and it just stops. I gave it about 5 minutes to do something
but it never did. I have waited as long as 20 minutes from gnome.
Guess that rules out a problem with gnome.
I could try re-installing some packages but I'm not sure which ones
are needed.
Any ideas?
Thanks!!
