Hi,

I'm also a Gentoo user (kernel 2.6.30-gentoo-r4), so maybe that comment is not of interest for you, but I also solved the reboot issue on a macbook pro 5,1 following comment #21. It seems that the kernel is going to be patched:
http://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/39169/

So maybe it's worth digging deeper in that direction ...

my two cents,
  ph.

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.
