So I installed an i386 server with nomodeset option selected and the normal reboots are working fine ( although the recovery mode path I tried out of curiosity still leads to the kernel panic) - The host is a 64 bit quantal running KVM and virt-manager
When i edited the grub command line on this installation to remove nomodeset, the standard reboot hangs.
Converse also conforms to the above pattern. i.e. An installation without nomodeset hangs on reboot but when I edited the grub command line to include nomodeset, the VM boots fine.
