You need to see what is failing. Try:
Log into root, do not use 'su' to become root.
cd /
ifconfig eth0 down
ifconfig lo down
kill -TERM -1
sync
kill -KILL -1
sync
umount -a
If this succeds in umounting all your file-systems then there is something
wrong with your shutdown script(s). If the last `umount -a` waits forever,
you may have a task that did not die. Use ^C to abort `umount` if
it doesn't abort, you have discovered a race. If it does abort, see
what file-systems are still mounted.
The above sequence should shut down any properly running system.
