Since upgrading to the 2.6.23 / 2.6.24 kernels I can no longer "restart" my system. I can "shutdown" ok, the machine powers off just fine. However when I try a "restart" the kernel goes through all the normal stuff and then hangs on the line that says "Restarting System". I have to hold down the power button to power off the case...

Suggestions?

Does this also happen with the latest 2.6.25 kernel? git-bisect?

Will you please confirm whether the system can be rebooted on the previous kernel? For example: 2.6.20/21/22.

Will you please attach the output of acpidump?

It would be great if you can open a bug at
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=ACPI
and attach the acpidump/lspci -vxxx as attachments there.

thanks,
