Hi Neil,

Thanks for the feedback. I am not using openvz, but only KVM. In this 
case, even with a CentOS VM (I have one), reboot completes fine, and I 
did not set up anything peculiar.

But in the case of openvz, I don't know. Can you post your Proxmox 
configuration ?
# pveversion -v

It can perhaps depend on the modules you use, for example kernel version.
