[ubuntu-uk] Feisty 7.04 restart problem (shutdown)

[alan c]

I have 7.04 on a laptop and the restart works ok. However on a desktop 
(which works with any other distro I have tried) the restart does not 
complete - it seems to hang before shutdown (no screen display at that 
stage) and I have to force power off. This actually causes file 
systems to be 'not clean' to show at restart.

Shutdown works ok on both machines. I have not tried options other 
than restart, I only ever use shutdown or restart, but finding 
'restart' to be a problem like this is a bit of a surprise.

Is there anything I can do to ensure a proper shutdown within the 
restart function?
