It's very bad. It indicates file system corruption on the ReiserFS. In my experience, I have never seen this to be followed by a clean recovery. You can try reiser.fsck with --rebuild-tree (after suitably enough research and googling) and see what gives. Sorry for the bad news. > Is there anyway to shutdown cleanly?

Since the system is hosed anyway, dmesg first (maybe save the output on a different device). Then try sysrq-keys (alt+printscreen+e,i,u,b). Boot from cd, check fs.

Stuff breaks early, or >late. Just wanted to let you know, it appears you were right, it was the HD itself that was bad. I substituted in the other brand new Seagate, and reinstalled. Luckily I was able to read all config files from the semi-bad drive. At this point I'm finished installing xorg-server, and have begun installing KDE. P.S. Next time I'll post the output of dmesg...
