Comment 20 for bug 1088185

Hi,
I had the same issue running Ubuntu 12.10 64bit on a btrfs partition for / and /home. I updated kernel (3.7.0-030700-generic #201212102335 SMP Tue Dec 11 04:36:24 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux) per Joseph's suggestion.

The first reboot, it hung and this was the display text:
***************************
checking battery state -- ok
stopping system V runlevel compatibility -- ok
starting
*****************************

I did a soft power off, and restarted and it worked.

Let me know what other info I can provide.

(fyi apport-collect not working either:
