Pressing 'Esc' does not help.
I have logged into a terminal (CTRL+ALT+F1), and switched to this terminal when shutting down. These are the last two lines I saw:
The system is going down for halt NOW! init: ureadahead main process (266) terminated with status 5
After that, only a hard reset works.
I will try it without 'splash' later on today.
