Fixing a broken server update

[Hal Burgiss]

Hello,

I was recently installing updates to several remote 8.04 servers. The first
three went fine. The fourth one hung at:

 Setting up linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-28-server (2.6.24-28.47)

Which is a bad place. After 30 minutes I hit ctl-c. It seems most of the
rest of the update went fine. But then it hangs again at:

 update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.24-28-server

Again, ctl-c. Which gets to the end. Now trying to run 'dpkg --configure
-a', hit hangs indefinitely at:

 # dpkg --configure -a
 Setting up initramfs-tools (0.85eubuntu39.3) ...
 update-initramfs: deferring update (trigger activated)

 Setting up linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-28-server (2.6.24-28.47) ...

Right now apt is completely broken. It won't do anything until this gets
fixed. This is a server in use and I am limited what I can do with it. Any
ideas?
