I'm having the same problem with a standard, unmodified RH 7.3. I verified that all the K and S links in runlevel 0 are present in response to an earlier suggestion from the list. And I don't have separate partitions in my /usr structure. Just a plain vanilla /usr structure.
However, the termination messages are the same, i.e.
Umount: /usr: Illegal seet
[Failed]
Init: No more processes....
Any ideas would be appreciated. This message is intended to keep the focus on this issue until some ideas start flowing.

Subject: Shutdown Error (the old umount2 error)
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?
