Problem shutting down system

[r trev fastwebmail it]

I've problems shutting down OpenSuSE 11.1 on Acer Aspire One 
( netbook ) with NetworkManager 0.7.
It seems as the system does not end the shutdown procedure
and locks on 'nm-system-settings'; at reboot fsck finds errors/slice 
on the partions.
The errors I've at boot time are :

[/sbin/fsck.reiserfs (1) -- /] fsck.reiserfs -a
/dev/disk/by-id/ata-Hitachi_HTS543216L9A300_080914FB0200LCGDHY6B-part6

Instead what happen at the end of shutdown is

[...]
doneShutting down service (localfs) network  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  ..done
Shutting down D-Bus daemon<notice>killproc: kill(2106,15)

I remember that linux ends its shutdown with something like
"...wait while reeboot/halt the system"
