Which kernel are you using on the installed system?  Use a live CD which
corresponds to the release of Ubuntu you have installed.  If you're tracking
Breezy, use the daily live CD:

You say that it "returns back"...are you saying that this is the same shell from
which you ran the reboot command, rather than a newly spawned shell?  Check with
"echo $$" before and after the reboot command.
