My new desktop at work is a Dell Optiplex 330, where Linux made its way from the very beginning. I started with my beloved Kubuntu, and then tried also Sabayon. With both distributions I soon noticed a boring bug: the computer does not reboot. After terminating the reboot operations the system just hangs and the computer does not reboot. Fortunately, this is a known bug for many computers, and the solution was quite easy: add the option reboot=b to the kernel line in the grub configuration list. This worked for me both for Kubuntu and Sabayon :-)

Many thanks!
THANK YOU!
I was looking for the bug in Fedora's Forums and couldn't find anything. Then I thought it might be the BIOS or something and thought I'd search. Many thanks again.
And just for the record that "reboot=b" gets added to /boot/grub/menu.lst in the line that looks something like...
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-24-generic root=UUID=9a0731d6-de74-40f0-8d90-acc0bc9e2264 ro quiet splash reboot=b
on an Ubuntu box.
BTW what Anonymous said... Thanks.
