You're right Martin, it's not a fix but a workaround for the problem, the strange thing is that manpages for reboot and halt say "On Linux, this is unnecessary as the kernel will do this anyway.", but removing the flag resolves the issue.
My server is in production, so I can't make more tests, if someone else affected by the problem can please give feedback. The NICs are 2 intel 82572EI Gigabit Ethernet and 2 Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM5708 Gigabit Ethernet.
I haven't tested on newer kernel (Intrepid).
