Here is another quick point. Which reboot are you using? I noticed today that I had configured the Busybox version and also the std /bin version. If I use the busybox version (just from the command line) it does not actually reboot the kernel. If I say reboot -f I get the "Rrestarting system" message and then it hangs. If I type /bin/reboot it works as it should. Obviously I need to turn off one or the other.
