it needs to go at the end of the kernel command line (in /boot/grub/menu.lst)
rather than editing the menu file each time, you can press e on the grub screen that offers you boot choices, then select the line with the kernel and press e again, and add the reboot parameter. I've tried many variations of the reboot parameter on my macbook pro 5,1 - none work for me. -- [Jaunty] MacBook 5.1 will not reboot (Restart). https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/338083 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mactel Support, which is the registrant for Mactel Support. Status in Mactel Support: Confirmed Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: As of Jaunty (Ubuntu 9.04) Alpha 5, with kernel 2.6.28-8-generic, the MacBook 5.1 will hang upon attempts to reboot (restart). The screen will go blank black, and the system will hang indefinitely. I suppose this is an improvement over Intrepid (Ubuntu 8.10), where the computer would both hang and make very loud beeping noises. :-) Still, I'm marking this as a bug since reboot is currently not possible. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~mactel-support Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~mactel-support More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
