[Virtual-pkg-base-maintainers] Bug#617393: base: rebooting an installed live-image doesn't bring me back to grub

[Lieven Debels]

Package: base
Severity: normal

After installing debian-live-6.0.0-amd64-lxde-desktop.iso, the system doesn't
get properly rebooted (not even subsequent reboots). System output says: "The
system is going down for reboot NOW!", but instead of rebooting and showing
grub afterwards, just a new kernel is started. I also can't eject the dvd using
the button on the drive station, because the system is not really rebooting. So
if I want to return to grub, I have to shutdown and then power on the system
again, just rebooting won't do the trick.
