I have similar problems when shutting down. When I run the shutdown
command everything is killed nicely until the part when the filesystems
are supposed to be unmounted.  I get a system trap and an immediate
reboot.  When I reboot Linux, I consistently see that it has to repair
the file system and put it in a 'clean' state.
It's really annoying.

I have mailed Red Hat support a week ago and I have yet to hear from
them.
