Soft reboots failing

[Mitch Thompson]

Running kubuntu dapper/flight 6 on an AMD64 machine, but this also
occurred when
running kubuntu breezy on the same machine.

Whenever I reboot by either typing reboot or selecting it from the
logout screen, it would go through all of the shutdown scripts until the
very last message was:

[834.696783] Restarting the system

Then nothing.  It sits there.  A hard restart always results in
reiserfs doing a fsck of the system upon reboot.

Bug?  Problem with my system?  Couldn't find anything in Bugzilla, but I
admit I only spent about 5 minutes doing searches.

Thanks!

degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks nothing is
worth a war, is worse. A man who has nothing which he cares more about
than he does about his personal safety is a miserable creature who has
no chance at being free, unless made and kept so by the exertions of
better men than himself." - John Stuart Mill
