Thanks to Neo Cambell for posting the hyperlink to http://www.expertcore.org/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=3009

Thanks to Saman for the fix

I did the following and it worked

  1. Type the command:
    sudo nano /etc/default/grub

  2. Find GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=”” and change it to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=”reboot=efi”

  3. Press Ctrl-O to save and then Ctrl-X to exit.

  4. Type the command:
    sudo update-grub

  5. Shutdown system.

  6. Reboot and then attempt restart.

I had the same problem and was able to solve it by compiling my own kernel ( 3.1.5 stable ) and creating a patch.

  • Welcome to AskUbuntu! As it stands, your answer may need a little more information in order for it to be useful. Maybe if you could describe the steps you took in detail, it would be much more useful for others.

No need to compile or do anything hard. I was having the same problem and found the perfect answer here at How to fix Netbook restart issue with Linux (Ubuntu).
