Acer Aspire One D257 Laptop doesn't restart

i have Ubuntu 11.10 installed with windows 8 on my Aspire one D257. It restarts with Windows, not with this one.

Thanks to Saman for the fix

I did the following and it worked

  1. Type the command:
    sudo nano /etc/default/grub

  2. Find GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=”” and change it to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=”reboot=efi”

  3. Press Ctrl-O to save and then Ctrl-X to exit.

  4. Type the command:
    sudo update-grub

  5. Shutdown system.

  6. Reboot and then attempt restart.


I had the same problem and was able to solve it by compiling my own kernel ( 3.1.5 stable ) and creating a patch.
