I did some troubleshooting and came up with the following.
If I have a monitor connected to my box then it always gets stuck at the "syncing file systems...done" message. However, if I don't have a monitor connected and I ssh to the machine, init 5 successfully shuts down the system. Pressing the power button still leaves the machine stuck at the "syncing file systems...done" message though. It's really weird. I later found the thread that you are referring to and tried it and it works for me. I just haven't tried this while I have a monitor connected. But after adding this tweak pressing the power button also shuts down the system successfully (with no monitor connected).

It does everything it is supposed to do up to the point where is says, "syncing file systems...done", but then never turns the hardware off. "init 6" on the other hand reboots the hardware successfully after the "syncing file systems...done" message. Any ideas?
