  I ran into a similar type of problem on an old Compaq DL360.  It hung
on any attempt to halt, and required a power cycle to clear.  I did track
it down to the 1.113 revision of sys/dev/pci/pci.c, which disables bus 
master accesses.  You might try to comment out the code in 
pci_child_shutdown() and see if that also makes it work.  If I ever get 
around to getting my PWS500au connected back up, I could also check this, 
but I'm getting deep into the SMP problem at the moment.
