What's the output of:


ps -ef | grep init.d

[ncnbnt]

root 4197 1 0 18:05 ? 00:00:00 /bin/sh /etc/init.d/rc 2
root 4925 4922 0 18:06 ? 00:00:00 /bin/sh -e /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

Try other commands, and see if they help it's not a permanent fix but try theses:
init 6
shutdown -r now

if none of those work (init 6 may take a while) your dmesg log may also shed some light.
