You mean by this you get all the messages about stopping services, then something like

	sending TERM signal to all processes
	sending KILL signal to all processes

and then nothing?

If you do that from X, try to shutdown X first. You will need to stop the gdm/kdm/xdm service (whichever you are using) and then issue the shutdown command from the console 'shutdown -r now'. If that doesn't work check your logs.
