I also had it not compiled in. But I think that's the problem. It's not that it isn't shutting down, it's freezing without unmounting the filesystems (i.e. there is not [ok] at the end of the "Unmounting Filesystems" line). When I reboot, fsck forces a check on my root because of unproper dismounting. Any other ideas? Help ... I need somebody ... Help ... You know I need someone ... Helllllllp!
