I have managed mostly to get round the issue by simply shutting down all unnecessary running processes before shutdown or reboot, but I still have issues. Will this work for an i386 machine, as well? I did try installing Devuan, but without success (as it seems the process used by their installation disc wants to overwrite my home folder); I also gave exegnulinux, but that also was unsatisfactory. My current system is Debian Jessie, and runs pretty much like I want, except for some minor bugs. My biggest complaint is systemd, and I really want to go back to using sysvinit. Also: I wonder if it is possible to switch to Devuan without doing a complete reinstallation? i.e., after changing over to sysvinit, can I enable Devuan repositories (and disable Debian), then do something like sudo apt-get dist-upgrade or whatever?
