This seems funny but in my case, after *some* *minutes* the generation finished (may be 5 minutes !!!). Is not this related to a problem of "entropy" in the computer ? I remember that, may be 10 years ago, it whas necessary to make some mouse movements during the ssh keys generation procedure, as the random number generator used the computer activity. Here I think that the generation finished when I launched "top" on the machine. But I have only one experience. Try to make some activity on the machine during the key generation.... and wait (a long time). t.d.
