Description
Xorg and chvt 1 call (in /etc/rc.d/rc) can be deadlocking one another
if shutdown is requested using ACPI (or any other mean), which will
cause X to stop while, at the same time, /etc/rc.d/rc0/6 is running,
causing chvt 1 to be called. When this happen, chvt call is blocked
and shutdown / reboot doesn’t happen. You need to press Ctrl-F1 to
change VT and unlock everything. To fix that, a patch in chvt is
needed to replace ioctl which is blocking kernel side to a userspace
temporary lock.
This update corrects the problem.
