 Replying to [comment:1 mikus]:

 > If the system then hangs with the text console showing, sometimes a
 bypass will allow shutdown to complete:  (*) If the text console does not
 show a prompt, I press ctl-alt-F2 -- this brings up the "don't do this"
 image, and shutdown eventually completes.  (*) If the text console prompts
 for input, instead of replying I press ctl-alt-F3, then <enter>.  This
 brings up the "don't do this" image, and shutdown eventually completes.

 I have seen this problem (same as Mikus) several times, most recently with
 8.2-767.  Maybe there is another ticket open for it.  The hang on shutdown
 seems to occur after some other prior activity crash.  I'm inclined to
 just hold down the Power Button to bypass the hang.
