Thanks Randall, but yes I've tried to access the consoles as well, no
luck. This is on my laptop. It worked great in 10.2, but now I cannot
reboot or end an X session without the system hardlocking. At least when
it hangs on reboot, the filesystem has already been unmounted.

Oh yes, it's repeatable 100% of the time. I have to choose shutdown to
actually close an X session otherwise it's hardlocked.

This is a Toshiba P35 laptop with a multi-core P4 3.33GHz processor.
Hardware info says:

'Mobile Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.33GHz'

If I had more info, I would file a bug report, but I at least like to
have a better handle on the problem than just reporting the the system
hangs on logout and reboot every time. That might have to suffice in
this case.
