also an issue with .38?

Please add 'reboot_type=k' to the kernel commandline in the bootloader menu and check whether reboot works. This might be a problem with the firmware rather than the kernel.

reboot_type=k didn't help.

Also, I didn't try .38 on Arch yet, but it didn't work on a Gentoo install I had. I'll make a install with [testing] to see if .38 solves this.

is this issue still there? It looks like an upstream issue, please report it there.

yes, this issue is still present. I'll report it upstream shortly.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/721576 . Must be a problem with UEFI firmware rather than kernel. Still it is better to report it upstream (kernel). Suggested workaround - add "reboot=a,w" to the kernel command line ( http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=blob_plain;f=Documentation/x86/x86_64/boot-options.txt;hb=HEAD )

Hope this helps. I don't have any Sandy Bridge UEFI system to verify this problem and it doesn't occur with Tianocore EDK2 DUET UEFI firmware.
