Looking for suggestions on how to troubleshoot this thing more 
easily:

Dual Athlon MP 2100+ workstation running RH Rawhide { a super 
modified 7.3 } . IDE hard drive. The directories /usr and /usr/local 
are on separate partitions for size reasons. The start for run level 0 
is killall and reboot. With the help of a hapless passerby, I 
compared level 6 Kxx symlinks to files in init.d and they are all 
there with no redundant entries. Runlevel 0 has killall, halt. 

The machine works great for numericals and simulations.  Problem 
is when we shut it down. Almost acts like it's doing a cd to /usr  
before final shutdown. We get the familiar: 

~~~~~~~~~~~~
Unmounting file systems:  umount2:   Device or resource busy
umount: /dev/hda3:  not mounted
umount: /usr: Illegal seek
    [FAILED]
INIT: no more processes left in this runlevel
~~~~~~~~~~~~


HOWEVER, it shuts down properly if I go into maintenance mode 
and do:

~~~~~~~~~~
su                              { must be root }
/sbin/shutdown 0                { go to maintenance mode }
killall -9 minilogd             { one of the services affecting /usr }
killall -9 ntpd                 { another service affecting /usr }
killall -9 cupsd                        { last service affecting /usr }
umount /usr/local               { required to get rid of /usr }
umount /usr                     { unmount  /usr }
poweroff                        { or reboot -- works properly }
~~~~~~~~~~

For some reason I am missing something obvious. What have I 
missed here?
