Just thought I'd do a quick note about a reboot issue I recently looked into on a Packard Bell netbook ( dot.s model ).
Essentially, the problem was that the machine would power off (either via the GUI or via the "poweroff" command), but the restart/reboot option just left you at a black screen.
The fix was to add reboot=efi to the /etc/default/grub config file, since it appears that some netbooks don't actually have a keyboard controller (which is the default setting for the reboot option) and in this situation, the netbook won't restart...
Anyway, the fix (and other options for the reboot option in grub config) is detailed at http://www.inforbiro.com/blog-eng/ubuntu-netbook-restart-problem/.
