Public bug reported: I've installed maverick desktop onto a sony vpcw218ag netbook. A problem is that it hangs on reboot. With the splash off, I see the final rebooting message on the screen, but it hangs there without actually rebooting. Sometimes, the screen turns off and hangs the same way.
Having some experience with another laptop, the apple macbook 6,1, I've noticed that it has the same problem as this laptop, and can be fixed by adding 'reboot=pci' to the boot command line. I've tried this on the sony, but it hasn't helped. At the moment, I can't reboot the sony netbook without powering off first (shutdown works, but reboot doesn't). Windows 7 that came preinstalled works with reboot, so it's not hardware. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- sony vpcw218ag netbook fails to reboot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/668274 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
