Public bug reported: After issuing a software reboot, the machine hangs at a black screen after the grub prompt, before the kernel boots. This lasts at least five minutes, with the processor fans spun all the way up. If I remove quiet and nosplash there is no text, the screen is completely black.
I have tried various reboot= options but it behaves the same way (when it reboots--some of those options do not reboot at all). If I add acpi=off it will boot reliably, but with acpi=ht the same problem occurs. Once at the black screen, I can press the reset button, and after going through grub, the machine boots successfully. It also boots successfully on a cold boot. I am using UEFI, but I had the same problem with BIOS boot.
