Public bug reported:
Just installed Ubuntu 11.04 on an Intel DQ57TM motherboard with the
latest BIOS revision. Configured the system to boot using EFI. Ubuntu
installed properly on the EFI system but when it came time to reboot the
computer the kernel crashes right before the reboot operation is to take
place. This happened both from the installer CD as well as the installed
system. This happens so late in the process that it is not in any of the
log files.
So I had to snap pictures with my iphone camera. I will upload them. The fix is
easy. All I had to do to remedy the problem was to add the following to the
kernel configuration line via grub:
reboot=a,w
That command tells the kernel to use ACPI and not EFI runtime services
to reboot. When using ACPI the kernel reboots perfectly.
The bug is either in the kernel or my systems EFI firmware but either
way when isntalling grub-efi it might be a good idea to modify
/etc/default/grub to add reboot=a,w to the kernel command line.
Pictures with crash will follow.
