I am also having a hang problem upon shutdown with 8.1. I too have an AMD Athlon (Thunderbird) although an ASUS board.
As far as I can tell, the problem has to do with the periferal devices. In my case, if I do not turn off the network card (i.e., ifdown eth0) then the box shuts down just fine. If I perform an ifdown eth0, then upon shutdown the box hangs at a particular point. If I perform an ifdown eth0, and then (right before shutting down) perform an ifup eth0, then the box hangs in a different location (at the point indicating that it is trying to shut down the network card, which is where I noticed the problem might have something to do with the network card). Hope this helps. I would like to get this problem solved. Every time I want to get on the 'Net (meaning go through a modem but first having to shut down the network card) I know that I'm going to umount one of my partitions (hda4) and that a check will be forced. This can't be a good thing.
