Thread about arrested boot sequence has run long.My guess is that it is hanging when closing a USB device - possibly a printer. If it always/usually happens you may be able to track down which device is causing the problem - not that it helps.
I wonder if arrested shutdown sequence is in any way related.
I think I'm not the only ArmX6 user who gets this mysterious hang.
Arrested shutdown -- the machine hanging before getting to the
standard "OK, switch off now" message -- is not quite so bothersome as
the arrested startup, because the cure is simply to switch off, done.
But why does it happen? Ctrl-Shift-F12, windows close, open files
warn, task manager quits, keyboard and mouse dead -- and the rest of
the screen is still there. Switch off, no harm done, but seems wrong:
what is causing it to hang, half-alive?
