Thanks for filing a bug.  I've added a dmidecode task to track the issue
with the tool.  It may also affect the kernel package, and possibly
firmware (though that's not something that Ubuntu provides).  Cloud-init
and any other tool may invoke this package and it should not reboot the
system; but there's no issue with cloud-init or other callers of the
tool   As such, I'm marking the cloud-init task as invalid.

** Also affects: dmidecode (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Undecided
       Status: New

** Summary changed:

- Fail to boot when NoCloud datasource is included
+ dmidecode triggers system reboot on Inforce 6640

** Changed in: cloud-init
       Status: New => Invalid
