I have heard a number of different "causes" for this -- probably it is a 
problem that can arise in many different ways. In my case, the problem
was the probe for a second floppy drive in my kernel config. This is 
better known for causing other problems, which I also had, but in my 
case, my rebooting started to work as soon as I explicitly specified that 
I have only one floppy drive.
