Bev.
I was getting this on one of my machines after upgrade. The simple solution is to edit /etc/init.d/halt and /etc/init.d/reboot to remove the -i option
i.e. in /etc/init.d/halt change:
halt -d -f -i $poweroff $hddown
to
# halt -d -f -i $poweroff $hddown halt -d -f $poweroff $hddown
and in /etc/init.d/reboot
reboot -d -f -i
to
# reboot -d -f -i reboot -d -f
(old lines left and commented out so that I know what I've done.)
The man page states that "-i iterates configured network interfaces and brings them down before shutting down. On Linux, this is unnecessary as the kernel will do this anyway."
Worked for me anyway.
