OK.  I am still fumbling in the dark.  Can you provide the output of
for a working and a broken system?

  ls /etc/rcS.d /etc/rc2.d /etc/rc6.d

Also, it would be useful to know the content of your /etc/fstab and
/etc/default/rcS.

Can you try to do 'shutdown -h now' while in a console (and not from
X), and report the last 8 lines printed on the screen before it hangs.

If fsck is needed on ever boot, that indicates that the final remount
of the root file system never occured, and thus a shutdown order bug.

Friendly,
