Ubuntu 12.04 stuck at "reboot: Restarting System"

I know this has been asked multiple times before, but most of these threads don't have an answer. I tried user62664's solution here and ran sudo update-grub successfully, but nothing changed. This happens whether I type sudo reboot or sudo shutdown -h now. Here is what it looks like when it hangs. There are no error messages, everything shows up with '[OK]', and then:

* Deconfiguring network interfaces...          [OK]

* Deactivating swap...                         [OK]

* Unmounting local filesystems...              [OK]

* Will now restart

[ 1306.739745] reboot: Restarting system

This seems like a very common problem, yet there are very few answers and they don't seem to help in my case. Does this mean there is no one solution? In which case, where should I check to check to find out the root cause?

From the man shutdown:



OPTIONS

       -r     Requests  that  the system be rebooted after it has been brought

              down.



       -h     Requests that the system be either halted or powered  off  after

              it has been brought down, with the choice as to which left up to

              the system.



       -H     Requests that the system be halted after  it  has  been  brought

              down.



       -P     Requests  that  the  system  be  powered  off  after it has been

              brought down.

As you can see, options -H and -P will poweroff your system. And sudo reboot will only reboot your computer, because it is so designed.

For rebooting your system wishout hanging up I can recommend sudo shutdown -r and sudo init 6. 【⬅This did not work out for me @biohazard】
