This problem is present on SME 6.0 servers. This may be an issue from the older P2 and early P3 era BIOS'es, that didn't follow the "specs" for power saving features. Also, this problem seems to be more prevalent in multi-CPU machines. Only a kernel change could provide a real fix to this issue.

For some motherboards, there may be a workaround by adding appropriate text to the grub config.

The addition of the noapic and acpi=off to etc/grub.conf might solve the problem of reboots failing.
