Thanks Mike, I'll try that out. It used to be the pressing escape at 
shutdown would switch it out of quiet shutdown mode, like it does with 
boot up, but escape isn't working when I am presented with a black 
screen, and when I leave it overnight the machine is still powered on in 
the morning and Linux is still sitting at the black screen. The only way 
to get out of that, without using ctrl+alt+F2 to get a terminal screen 
to shutdown from, is to press the hard reset button or the use the power 
button to shut the machine down.

regards,
Steve
