I turned on verbose in /boot/grub/menu.1st just to see where it gets stuck and it gets all the way to the end where it says
[ 74.88548] Restarting system....

Then just sits there with a blinking cursor.

Bug description:
As of Jaunty (Ubuntu 9.04) Alpha 5, with kernel 2.6.28-8-generic, the MacBook 5.1 will hang upon attempts to reboot (restart). The screen will go blank black, and the system will hang indefinitely. I suppose this is an improvement over Intrepid (Ubuntu 8.10), where the computer would both hang and make very loud beeping noises. :-) Still, I'm marking this as a bug since reboot is currently not possible.
