I can also confirm my MBP5,1 with latest Jaunty updates (uname -rv:
2.6.28-11-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 17 01:58:03 UTC 2009) does not
reboot either .

@Colin: there must be something different in your setup I guess... have
you changed anything which may have got it working?

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.
