CTRL-ALT-DEL usually is set to reboot as your file shows.  Unless the line
is commented out it should reboot.  Maybe there is a keyboard mapping
problem or something.

That's a bad idea for those of use who regularly have to use windows.  You
have to do a ctrl-alt-del to login, and sometimes those bad habits carry
over.  Or sometimes you type on the wrong keyboard if you have your windows
box near your linux box.
