Figured-out that line #149 of "w/etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia" as causing the shutdown hang/freeze. So I commented "#/sbin/rmmod $PCIC" as follows:
if grep -q "ds " /proc/modules ; then
echo -n " modules"
/sbin/rmmod ds
#/sbin/rmmod $PCIC
/sbin/rmmod pcmcia_core
fi
echo "."
rm -f /var/lock/subsys/pcmcia
EXITCODE=0
