I have a Sony VPCW218AG netbook that I've dual-booted with Ubuntu 10.10. Unlike the preinstalled Windows 7, Ubuntu will not reboot on this computer. Rebooting from Gnome, using the reboot
command and SysRq+REISUB all don't work; they end hanging with a blank screen.
I have read that Atom netbooks don't have a keyboard controller and therefore the default reboot method, kbd
, won't work. I have actually tried all ten reboot=
parameters listed here; none of them work.
I have also tried disabling ACPI with noacpi acpi=off
for each one; that didn't help either.
Are there any other things I can try to fix the rebooting problem?
