MegaBrutal, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. As per http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/thinkpad-t-series-laptops/thinkpad-t400 an update to your BIOS is available (3.24). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does it change anything?  If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette
.

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. As well, you don't
have to create a new bug report.

Once the BIOS is updated, then please mark this report Status Confirmed.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  kexec reboot fails

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  After release upgrade to Utopic, when I reboot with kexec (simply with
  "reboot" command), my computer cold reboots after "Starting new
  kernel" (i.e. I need to get through the POST and GRUB), instead of the
  new kernel being loaded. Previously I didn't experience problems with
  Trusty.

  It matters which kernel I try to boot, while it doesn't matter what
  kernel I kexec from, and which version of kexec-tools I have.

  I can't boot 3.16.0-25, nor 3.18.0-031800rc6 from any installed
  kernels, while I can boot 3.13.0-39 from any kernels without any
  problems.

  I tried to downgrade kexec-tools from 1:2.0.7-1ubuntu2 (utopic) to
  1:2.0.6-0ubuntu2.1 (trusty), but it made no difference.

  I have a Lenovo Thinkpad T410. I didn't experience the same on my
  other machines, so I suspect some hardware-dependent issue.
