Cannot reboot Debian Etch - 1 Core at 100%

I have a weird problem.

I cannot reboot my Debian Etch Server and one core shows as using 100% CPU but nothing appears to be using it????

I have tried kill -9 and killall via htop on the nbd mount and poweroff and shutdown commands but gett nothing.

I also killed a number of other processes but no joy.

Anyone have any ideas? I just want to reboot it..... never had this happen before on Debian.
