Cannot reboot after using acpi_call #2

Hi, acpi_call works fine to turn off my discrete nvidia card, however after installing acpi_call, system fails to reboot...it only shuts down on any reboot command. Unloading acpi_call module before reboot does not correct the problem. I googled around for this, but no one else seems to report this problem.

Asus k42jc laptop lspci|grep VGA 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 18) 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GT218 [GeForce 310M](rev ff)

Any help appreciated, thanks

SOLVED OK, I have to turn nvidia back on to make reboot work.

BTW My system seems to use much less power if I use acpi_call from an init.d script rather than from rc.local.
