Hi,

I have been observing that Ubuntu Precise VM, if restarted using a 
crontab at a given time, stops at the OS / Kernel Selection screen and 
does not complete the reboot. If we issue the reboot command with 
Console open, the same command works without any issues and the VM boots 
properly. This issue happens only with Ubuntu Precise and not with 
Trusty or Xeniel or even with any of Rehat distributions or CentOS.

Interestingly, it doesn't happen with VMWare ESXi.

I also read somewhere that this issue is with VDSM 3.6 and it seems to 
continue with VDSM 4 as well.

Any suggestions in this regard.
