well, IMHO it doesn't hang, it "just" doesn't turn off the machine, but all the
rest is ok. You can verify at next boot: normally the HD is ok and there's no
check for errors (like any other machine-freezing).

I had the same problem on my ASUS laptop (M6842NWH). There're 2 possible solutions:

- - disable APIC/Local-APIC (at boot with 'noapic/nolapic' or in the kernel), in
many cases (as in mine) this solves the problem

- - using Hartwig Felger's patch, other infos
