Specifically it is taking minutes to shut down eth0 and loopback. I inserted a date commands into /etc/init.d/syslog and /etc/init.d/network and got the following results when shutting down: LEVEL 5 SHUTDOWN 00:55:27.811662000 Shutting down kernel logger 00:55:29.151874000 kernel logger down 00:55:29.197130000 Shutting down system logger 00:55:39.751460000 system logger down 00:55:45.365522000 Removed /var/lock/subsys/syslog 00:56:38.073459000 Shutting down interface eth0 00:57:57.468175000 interface eth0 down 00:57:57.478978000 Shutting down loopback interface 00:58:46.692743000 loopback interface down 00:58:46.719086000 Removed /var/lock/subsys/network SHUTTING DOWN FROM RUN LEVEL 3 11:42:34.592952000 Shutting down kernel logger 11:42:35.864684000 kernel logger down 11:42:35.890611000 Shutting down system logger 11:42:42.710079000 system logger down 11:42:42.732724000 Removed /var/lock/subsys/syslog 11:43:51.504382000 Shutting down interface eth0 11:46:23.878438000 interface eth0 down 11:46:23.892524000 Shutting down loopback interface 11:47:29.198935000 loopback interface down 11:47:29.232347000 Removed /var/lock/subsys/network NOTE: Please assign problem to proper component.

Select either "Shutdown" or "Restart the computer" 3. Click "OK" Actual Results: Interface eth0 and loopback shutdown takes minutes to complete. Expected Results: Shutting down of eth0 and loopback takes 5-10 seconds each to complete. Additional info:

I think I've seen this too (or something similar anyway), on FC 2 final, intermittently. Unfortunately I no longer have the hardware on which I experienced this problem. It always seemed to happen with PCMCIA or CardBus cards -- and yanking the card of the socket when it slowed down made the shutdown proceed at normal speed.
any better with the 2.6.9 update ?
There has been improvement with the newer kernel update. My system now shutsdown within a reasonable amount of time.
