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.
Cheers,
Ron

Error scenario: The computer locks up when shutting down or when
stopping the usb service. Why: In certain cases, the usb-uhci module is
broken for some usb devices.
Solution: Modify your /etc/modules.conf file and change the line
alias usb-interface usb-uhci to alias usb-interface uhci. The
change will take effect after the next shutdown and will prevent the usb
service from locking up the computer.

I saw a message in the archives about this, but no solutions. I'm also
experiencing this, so hopefully this will shed a little light on the
problem.
My system hangs on shutdown, the last two lines printed to the console are
usb.c: disconnect on device 1 and usb.c: disconnect on device 2 then the
system hangs. The only keystrokes it will respond at that point to are the
alt+sysreq combinations. My system is an AMD Athlon with the
via686 chipset. USB drivers in use are usbcore, usb-uhci, and the
handspring
visor driver. I also have an IBM PC-camera connected, but the driver for
that was not loaded. I hope somone can figure out what's wrong with my
setup, I'm getting sick of watching fsck run every morning...
