Public bug reported: We have the upstream Precise 3.5 series kernel installed. Older 3.2 kernels are also installed but not used. Every kernel update requires moving the /lib/modules/3.?.?-??-generic/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915.ko out of the tree before allowing initramfs-tools run. So each update requires moving that driver out of the tree, doing the apt-get upgrade or apt-get dist-upgrade, then moving the module back. Others have reported this behavior with the above workaround. I don't know if this relates directly to this bug report, but I can't imagine it doesn't affect it somehow. All installed i915.ko modules in each kernel's tree must be moved or initramfstools won't complete and just hangs forever.
Also, my email address in case you want more info is dphu...@uncg.edu. I need to update the account since there is rarely a bug to report!
