Hi, I have been using Zephyroth's latest release and it has been a smooth ride for me. However, at times my system is unable to shutdown when told to do so. Instead a message appears prompting me to shut the system down manually by pressing the power/reset button. If this is a known issue, can somebody suggest to me a fix? I would greatly appreciate that. Thank you. =)

So probably I should disable my onboard LAN (since I rarely use it), and that should leave my worries away. =)
Another thing, at time I don't even get that message, and can hear the hard drive shut down. Is it safe to turn of the system at that time? I gave the system 10 minutes for this, however, I still had to manually shut it down.
[cite] bcw:I got the problem very often (shut the system down manually by pressing the power/reset button), and it's identified as the use of my onboard nforce lan. But I never have problem to shutdown or reboot the system.
