Following this bug
[https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acpid/+bug/302452] might help
fix it.  I did try the mainline kernel mentioned there and still
wouldn't reboot for me but I had a bunch of nvidia kernel modules errors
at that point so maybe if i resolved those with that kernel it would
work:

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.
