Reboot doesn't work

[kCz11]

Hi guys ,

i have a problem with my Backtrack5 R1. Everything works fine except that i cannot reboot. If i type 'reboot' in the shell the reboot is starting, X is closing but all the power-LED from my Netbook keep on, and the screen is just black and nothing happens.
I have to press the power button to hard-shutdown the machine and start it again. What yould I do to fix this problem?

Thanks

If you logout out of the GUI, and run reboot from the command line, it should reboot fine.

if the reboot won't work, it's better to run

poweroff

to switch off the computer instead of using the hardware button.
Btw what "scottm99" said should work properly.
