As of a couple days ago, my MacBook Pro 5,1 on Jaunty suddenly started
rebooting properly!  Yay!  I am now on Linux 2.6.28-11-generic.  Has
anyone else updated their Ubuntu packages and had this problem fixed?

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.
