WOW, it doesn't just affect halt/reboot ! Try to run icpcon with linux_2.6.24-16.30 and it will instantly crash the kernel (soft lock blah blah...).
Ok, here's how to fix everything : 1) get *official* 2.6.24.7 kernel and build a new kernel package (make-kpkg works fine if you don't enable XEN in your configuration) 2) install it 3) remove bogus ubuntu kernel : # apt-get remove linux-image-2.6.24-16-server Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done The following packages will be REMOVED: linux-image-2.6.24-16-server linux-image-server linux-server linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-16-server 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 4 to remove and 0 not upgraded. After this operation, 77.9MB disk space will be freed. Do you want to continue [Y/n]? (Reading database ... 34538 files and directories currently installed.) Removing linux-server ... Removing linux-image-server ... Removing linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-16-server ... 4) Relax :) No, I'm not sarcastic ;-) To be more serious, 2.6.24.7 works perfectly and I can run icpcon and reboot my server like in the good old days.
