Just tried this on a second machine, a P4 2.0 with 640MB ram. Running the same 
kernel-modules, fglrx and NTFS, plus the vmwareplayer, all of which i updated 
- seem to have the same results - system just locked up on shutdown. I didn't 
wait to see what would happen in screen-saver mode. I haven't upgraded 
module-init-tools on this machine, yet, and I guess I'll hold off. Booting 
into previous kernel keeps me going for now.
