Public bug reported:
When Ubuntu installs a new kernel and needs to reboot, it uses a
quickreboot mechanism (kexec?) that bipasses the BIOS. This breaks my
machine horribly. VT terminals and USpash fail to appear and I get a
blank screen, until shutdown when I see an 80x24 terminal scrambled with
random data. Sound fails. Pulse audio only seeings "NULL" output. Compiz
initializes, but refuses to load half my settings (I have a cube with 4
faces, but the cylendar plugin doesn't load). If I try to continue,
despite these facts, the system seems much more "Crash happy" where
things are more likely to explode. This is 100% reproducable (it happens
every time).
All in all, this fastreboot mechanism fails horribly on my machine, and
makes me have to shutdown and then reboot, AGAIN. Assuming the system
shuts down correctly without me having to hard power it off.
