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.
