RE: shutdown -r now won't work
I didn't manually touch the initctl file but I just checked the timestamp
and it was altered right about the time I did the kernel recompile. Is this
initctl unique to each system? If not, I was thinking of just copying one
over from a machine that does shutdown properly. Should I refrain?

Did you remove, rename, recreate, or mess around with /dev/initctl?
That's a pipe that programs such as shutdown use to talk to init.
Mike.
