I just get the system message that the system is going down for a reboot and it just stops. I gave it about 5 minutes to do something but it never did. I have waited as long as 20 minutes from gnome. Guess that rules out a problem with gnome. I could try re-installing some packages but I'm not sure which ones are needed. Any ideas? Thanks!!
