No, the faq entry is about the normal session shutdown, due to a missing kill() functionality. Halt not being able to kill the X session is another concern. It would need to be tracked e.g. using a serial console, to check what process is lying behind, and that the initscripts don't manage to kill. Normally they are able to kill -KILL them after some (not too long) time, it should be checked why that's not happening. > I should try this again and see if I can ssh into the machine at > this state.

That's not really surprising since since poweroff-hurd only cuts the base translators, without taking care of termination daemons etc. > It took X maybe 5 or so minutes before it > locked up on me and stopped accepting mouse movements. That, however, is surprising. Again, using a serial console would allow to know what is actually happening. Samuel
