    I've noticed on my laptop that a 'shutdown -h now' can hang the machine
    for upwards of 2 minutes in rpc.umntall when I've got the network
    firewalled and had left over NFS mounts from a previous session. 

    I don't know if my problem is related, but I would recommend using 'ps'
    to see where the rc.shutdown script is hanging (i.e. look for processes
    with rc.shutdown as their parent, that are preventing it from completing).

:I don't believe your system is hung, as much as it is simply
:trying to process all the data being redirected to /dev/random.
:
:I have some patches to help speed this up (and possibly remove
:some of the directory cat'ing and replacing it with more
:variable input).
:
:fyi: try rebooting your system via 'init 6' or 'shutdown -r now'
:     which will write the /entropy file, thus avoiding the
:     code which is currently giving you problems.
