No, but it sounds like a kernel panic.
You should try hitting the escape key during shut down or boot with
"norhgb" (maybe even add "nomodeset") to stop plymouth from hiding
any
kernel output.
I saw this on my first shutdown after pre-upgrading my Lenovo T61P. The
errors suggested a $PATH issue, with many saying "/sbin/something not
found." Have not shut down again.
