I think you can configure the shutdown in /etc/inittab

SuSE runs a few needless scripts like searching for new hardware on
startup (hwscan), you can remove them if redhat has something equal.
Also you can remove scripts that start services like usb, hotplug, apache,
smb, etc, if you don't need them.
Run vdr as soon as possible - smb or apache (if needed) can be started
after vdr, as vdr doesn't need them.

It is also a good idea to configure a static IP adress instead of DHCP.
