Mike Lovell, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any
activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If
so, could you please test for this with the latest development release
of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com
I'm seeing this as well with an Nvidia card (binary drivers if that
matters), I solved it by manually editing /usr/share/initramfs-
tools/hooks/framebuffer and commenting out the line
copy_modules_dir kernel/drivers/gpu
I've hit this same bug twice, when upgrading to 12.04 (a year ago) and

initramfs/modprobe i915 hanging by adding
blacklist i915
to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf and rebooting.

I can confirm the cause is the module i915 which is reported by procps
as being in initstate 'coming':

In fact it is already loaded and used by video - so I cannot unload it.

Had the same problem one one of my machines - dpkg --configure -a,
update-initramfs and update-grub were all hanging at the same point.
Reason for this was a stale modprobe process in state D
(uninterruptible sleep), which very probably was left by an unsuccessful
upgrade-manager run (which I
Hi Mike,
If you could also please test the latest upstream kernel available that would
be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue.
Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the
