Adharsh, since you say the system reboots on pressing return, it must be an
ACPI problem afaik. Try adding this to the grub menu
1. Press Esc when grub loads
2. Select the kernel entry and edit it by pressing e
3. To the second line of the entry add "acpi=off" after root=
Eg: kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-23-386 root=/dev/hda1 acpi=off ro quiet
splash
4. By most chance, if it is an ACPI problem, the system will boot by this edit
5. After booting and logging in edit the grub entries
a) Open Terminal from Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal
b) Type sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
c) The password system asks for is your password (The Logged in user's)
d) Search for the kernel entry in the file and add the above acpi=off to
it.
e)Save the file and reboot.
