I have hit this same problem when upgrading from 11.10 to 12.10. The box will no longer start. I have to go to recovery mode to even get SSH up.
Is there any workaround? Will upgrading or downgrading my kernel help? 3.5.0-18-generic #29-Ubuntu SMP Fri Oct 19 10:27:31 UTC 2012 i686 i686 i686 GNU/Linux -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/706413 Title: update-initramfs hangs on adding gpu module To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/706413/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
