Happens on my Acer laptop with 2.6.16 kernel. It can't be shut down, cos

by hand, shutdown works as it should. Any clue why this happens?
Note that it's complaining about the kernel modules, not the firewall. I
had this problem way back with FC1, and traced it to some module not
managing reference counts properly. IIRC there were issues with safely
unloading the module so the decision was to make the initscript not unload
modules by default.
I'm still running FC2 and at the bottom of /etc/sysconfig/iptables-config I
have:
# disable unloading of modules
