Bug Description
I was testing Ubuntu GNOME utopic-
When the installation was complete and I was prompted to reboot, I accepted. Then I ended up staring at this text screen for 10 minutes (I timed it): https:/
During this time I could switch between virtual consoles with Alt-F1, Alt-F2, Alt-F3, Alt-F7.
Pressing Enter did nothing in any of the consoles.
I did not think to try Ctrl+Alt+Del, and I couldn't use Alt+SysRq in KVM.

Tried this again (but with LVM and encryption enabled), got stuck at the reboot stage again.
Ctrl+Alt+Del in the VM emits a broadcast message on /dev/tty1 about rebooting, but doesn't reboot.
I figured out how to send magic SysRq commands (Ctrl-Alt-2, sendkey alt-sysrq-s, then Ctrl-Alt-1 and Alt-Left/Right to make it refresh the screen, otherwise the alt-sysrq command output does not appear). Alt+SysRq+l/t/w are disabled by the kernel and my qemu froze before I got to Alt+SysRq+e/i/k.
