While this is a hardware (UEFI firmware, well basically the BIOS) issue,
the only way to (eventually) work around this problem is from the kernel
side. Accordingly a kernel specific mailing list, probably upstream 
(lkml) or Debian specific (BTS, debian-kernel) are probably better 
venues.

 I've bought recently, an motherboard in order to make a simple server in my
 home, the model is a ASROCK Q2900 ITX (see documentation below)
 http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/Q2900-ITX/
 
 My problem occur when I reboot the MB.
 If I turn off (shutdown -h now) and push physically the power button it
 successfully restart
 But if I type `reboot` the MB turn off but doesn't power on, the boot
 freeze just after showing POST screen of the bios.
 
 During my test, I've try to put acpi=off option to kernel and the reboot
 problem disappear, but this time it's the shutdown process which is
 impacted. When I type shutdown the system succesfully halt but the MB
 doesn't physically poweroff

Please don't use acpi=off, it not only disables SMP but may also cause
damage to your mainboard.

 Can anyone already had a similar problem ?

You can try to use reboot=pci as kernel parameter, I'm having similar
(but intermittent) problems on an ASRock Q1900DC-ITX where this seems
to help (but it's a bit too early to be sure about it, so a bit too 
early to submit the according kernel quirk).

I had very similar problem with my intel D2500CC board (also mini-itx), and 
before
with similar (also intel) boards with prev-gen Atom CPUs.  In all these cases 
the
prob was a bug in bios and were fixed by updating the bios.  Intel had a fix for
prev-gen atom and the same bug on D2500CC which they fixed later, so I had to 
live
with reboot probs for a while.

In my case the bug was possible to work around by creating an ms-dos bootable
partition on the hdd.

That all to say: the chances are very high that this is a prob in bios.  There's
still a small chance that it is in linux (in kernel in this case), but if that's
the case, debugging it will be quite difficult.

Thanks,

Thanks for your experience

What do you mean by 'creating a msdos partition' ?

Do you advice me to use the msdos partition table on the system disk and
use a separated /boot partition for grub installer ?
