This is also the case on a SONY FS115B laptop.

Please try the latest kernel to see if that improves things.

I think you have to ad a boot option to resolve this issue:
nolapic
because lapic is compiled in the kernel but it's not supported by asus laptops! try!

This happens on my Asus M6BNE. Occasionaly it will not just hang with the
rebooting messages but the screen will go blank and then it hangs.

I confirm to try with nolapic, it's work fine on my asus M6BNE :)
Thanks :)

If possible, please upgrade to Dapper's 2.6.15-8 kernel. If you do not want to
upgrade to Dapper, then you can also wait for the Dapper Flight 2 CD's, which
are due out within the next few days.

Let me know if this bug still exists with this kernel.

Thank you for reporting this bug and following up on it.

I am marking this bug Closed since there has been no response from you for over three months. We
would like to fix all existing issues, but need need feedback to help with debugging.

Should you still have a problem with the latest up to date Dapper kernel and packages, please reopen this bug. In this case, please answer the questions that have already been asked of you before and provide the log files and information required for debugging.
