  mount /proc should resolve, in my case had resolved even I am not 
happy about need of proc for reboot.


  After mounting /proc reboot could fails for some other reasons:

  - hw reboot sometimes need acpi/apm has been activated by software 
(not kernel, only) before reboot or shutdown

  - in some hw BIOS is buggy and hang/freeze instead of reboot happen.
