Ben Harris, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any
activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If
so, could you please test for this with the latest development release
of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com
/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in
the development release from a Terminal
(Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather
and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

Title:
  Reboot hangs on Dell OptiPlex 780 (board 03NVJ6); reboot=bios works
  around

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Running 11.10 on a Dell OptiPlex 780.  More than half the time when I
  reboot (e.g. by running "reboot" as root), the system will hang just
  after displaying the "now restarting" message, and not reboot.  Adding
  "reboot=bios" to the kernel command line seems to solve this problem:
  four reboots in a row have been successful.  I have tried updating to
  the latest BIOS (revision A12), and that hasn't made any difference.

  This seems to be an equivalent problem to #488319 (OptiPlex 760) and
  #115011 (OptiPlex 745).  I've found other references to the problem
  here:

  <https://wiki.inf.ed.ac.uk/DICE/F13Upgrade> (apparently solved by reboot=bios)
  <http://fogproject.org/forum/threads/tftpboot-restart-problems.238/> (apparently solved by changing kernel)
