I might suggest looking for a BIOS update and/or downgrade before you
file any bugs. I've got a Precision 490 here that reboots just peachy.
Dell actually has bios updates that can be done from Linux on these boxes.
I'm running the latest BIOS as it was shipped with the machine. I'd
rather use reboot=bios than run an old BIOS.
Thanks,
