If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BiosUpdate , does it change anything? If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command: sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date
Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette .

When I trigger a crash with echo 'c' > /proc/sysrq-trigger the machine freezes. I see the disk-light blinking for a short time. But then, the host does not reboot automatically, and no dump-file is in /var/crash. With Oneiric everything worked as expected. How can I provide more debugging info to you?
