Some of the more desktop oriented distributions will load a graphical
boot screen on a framebuffer console. Check the grub.conf entry to see
if there's a vga= line. If so, remove the vga setting.
You can check if this is the cause of the lockups by switching from the
GUI to a console. Press CTL-ALT-F1 then CTL-ALT-F7 a few times. This
should switch between your desktop and a console. If it locks, it's very
likely the cause of the problems as the shutdown kills the X server then
drops to a console in a similar fashion.
