@Nikos:
Here's my menu.lst entry.  I've provided a "before" and "after" so you can see the differences (since it's not an Ubuntu-based menu.lst).

Before:
title Gentoo Linux 2.6.30-r1
root (hd0,2)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.30-gentoo-r1 root=/dev/ram0 real_root=/dev/shiny/root dolvm
initrd /boot/initramfs-genkernel-x86_64-2.6.30-gentoo-r1

After:
title Gentoo Linux 2.6.30-r1
root (hd0,2)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.30-gentoo-r1 root=/dev/ram0 reboot=pci real_root=/dev/shiny/root dolvm
initrd /boot/initramfs-genkernel-x86_64-2.6.30-gentoo-r1

The only difference should be "reboot=pci" after "root=/dev/ram0" on the
kernel line.

[Jaunty] MacBook 5.1 will not reboot (Restart).

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.
