OpenSUSE 11.0 won't shutdown or reboot

My opensuse installation won’t shutdown nicely. When I try to reboot or shutdown the computer it just says that runlevel 0 has been reached and SuSE_Firewall_setup skipped and never shuts down.

Does anyone know anything similar or how to fix this?

I’ll try to check some logs after I get back to home to see if there is something about this.

My hardware:
MSI K8N Neo4
AMD Athlon 4400 X2
nVidia 8500se
2GB RAM
500GB SATA HDD
NEC DVD+/-RW

as root did you go on the command line and type

shutdown now

or change it to

**shutdown -r now **

if you want it to reboot.

there will be a fix for what you have for sure, but that command should work to shut it down
