[Bug 1070529] [NEW] update-initramfs stuck after quantal upgrade

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Every call to update-initramfs ended stuck on the first line:

# update-initramfs -u
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-3.5.0-18-generic
[stuck here]

Looking at the running processes gave me this:

# ps aux | grep initram

Suspecting that something was wrong with the FRAMEBUFFER option in
initramfs, I removed the « FRAMEBUFFER=y » of my config file.

Then, I was able to use again update-initramfs without getting stuck and
to upgrade my kernel.

Thanks.
