I get a prompt to reboot the machine but then the screen goes black, the
CD ejects but that is it the computer does not reboot. I tried a fresh
install with the September 28 daily build and got the same result. This
time I had to power off the machine since control-alt-delete would not
work. However, I have been running that build for a couple of days and I
have not encountered any serious issues just some minor bugs. 

I would like to continue testing but it will be difficult for me to do
this on bare metal unless I can find another machine otherwise I would
have to do it inside a virtualbox. Any suggestions.

Cheers,

Joe
