There should be a "not" here, right?

No. My OmniBook 500 does the same thing BTW. I can shutdown but reboot 
just hangs the laptop. I'm guessing the BIOS doesn't like the state in 
which atyfb leaves the card. The reason I'm thinking it's the BIOS is 
that my OB6000, which has nearly the same hardware, reboots just fine.
I also tried all of the reboot= kernel options but none helped.

Maybe we just need to restore some of the original state before reboot. 
But I don't know if that's even possible. Do drivers get any kind of 
notification about reboot?
