Re: Older Toshiba won't restart only halt
My roommate says your issue is most likely ACPI and alternate OS's such as windows are likely to have same issues.
He said it's a common problem with aging toshibas and he hasn't found a workable solution.
He suggest testing with other OS's such as windows or a live cd distro to verify chip issues and eliminate software as a culprit
Hope it's helpful;

Same thing here with a cheapo Intel P4 motherboard running Squeeze.
No desktop manager. I haven't investigated, as the machine is rarely
used, but it looks like the issue is not restricted to laptops.
