WOW, it doesn't just affect halt/reboot !
Try to run icpcon with linux_2.6.24-16.30 and it will instantly crash the kernel (soft lock blah blah...).

Ok, here's how to fix everything :
1) get *official* 2.6.24.7 kernel and build a new kernel package (make-kpkg works fine if you don't enable XEN in your configuration)

2) install it

3) remove bogus ubuntu kernel :
# apt-get remove linux-image-2.6.24-16-server
Reading package lists... Done

No, I'm not sarcastic ;-)

To be more serious, 2.6.24.7 works perfectly and I can run icpcon and reboot my server like in the good old days. Great, isn't it ?
