hello all! I have justy installed Ubuntu Dapper 6.06 on a Toshiba Satellite 1805-S207 laptop and it always hangs when I try to reboot! I have to shut it down completely and then start it up again. A minor annoyance, but one I would like to resolve. I have installed this same distro on a Dell Inspiron 7500 and a HP Pavillion (old one) and neither had this problem. As always, any and all help is greatly appreciated. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!

what is it working on when it hangs(killing sshd/apache/etc)?

It goes through the normal process of shutting down, and then it starts back up; I can hear the fan whirring but the screen remains blank. I have to hold the power button to shut it off then hit it again to start normally. Any file I can edit?

you have to remove the "quiet" and "splash" from your kernel boot options to see what is going on.

edit file /boot/grub/menu.lst and go down to kernel you boot to and remove the "quiet" from the kernel line (about line 119)

I removed both "quiet" and "splash" from that kernel line in /boot/grub/,menu.lst to no avail. Computer shuts down and says "will now restart" but then goes blank. I know I did it right because when I power off completey and then power on it shows all the stuff that it's working on whereas it didn't before.
