A silly question for you; does your system reboot when using a stock
Ubuntu kernel from the Ubuntu Live CD?

I ask this because I have this issue with my system and 2.6.28-rc2,
though Ubuntu has some patch or another that I haven't yet isolated
that makes my system reboot properly.  Using 2.6.28-rc2, I just see the
kernel message "[xxxxxx.xxxxxx] Restaring system", and have to use my
power button or reset button, for the moment.

It looks like your kernel is a 32-bit x86 build; I am having an issue
on x86-64 (specifically, an AMD64 system).
