    Update-initramfs never ends

    Code:
    $ sudo update-initramfs -u
    update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-3.5.0-17-generic
    And 15 minutes later my prompt still hasnt returned. I tried rebooting and the desired changes did take place so initramfs is being successfully updated. The process just wont end. Is this affecting anybody else using 12.10?

    Anybody have any idea about this? It keeps breaking my system. Ive done three seperate installs and each one eventually runs into this problem. This is the end of my dpkg.log
    Code:
    2012-11-11 17:59:57 trigproc initramfs-tools:all 0.103ubuntu0.2 <none>
    2012-11-11 17:59:57 status half-configured initramfs-tools:all 0.103ubuntu0.2
    2012-11-11 18:05:04 startup packages configure
    2012-11-11 18:05:04 configure initramfs-tools:all 0.103ubuntu0.2 <none>

      What if you try to cleanly remove and then recreate (with extra verbosity) your initramfs?
      Code:
      $ sudo update-initramfs -d
      $ sudo update-initramfs -v -c

        Im not quite sure what I did, but this problem seems to have solved itself. If it pops up again (Im guessing it will) Ill try your solution. Thanks.
