well, that's what I could tell from the log you posted in [0].
line 21 contained a program name and a shared object.

sorry, and sorry for saying "that was the problem". I should have made clearer
these things aren't usually the culprit. the process in question isn't running
when you log in to tty, though? and tty also hangs comparably to what you
described with X?

There was a way that made old kernels dump all syslog to tty12, which I think
was removed from syslog.conf. I only know I left it in however, if shutting
down immediately crashes, sleep 2 && shutdown; <ctrl-alt-f12> could work...

Also, please answer below, not above previous posts.

cheers!
