Comment 18 for bug 653134

I reinstalled 10.04.1 on my faulty machine, did an offline upgrade using the latest maverick alternate .iso and it works fine. Not exactly the same way I ran the upgrade before but close enough. The grub menu still shows 1.98-1ubuntu6 (as it did when I installed 10.04.1), the grub.cfg also looks the same, yet it now boots fine.

So... basically I have absolutely no idea what was causing the reboot issue.
