update-initramfs hangs on adding cpu module

[Mike Lovell]

Linux server03 2.6.35-22-server #35-Ubuntu SMP Sat Oct 16 22:02:33 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux

On Ubuntu 10.10 Server x64, when running an update (or anything that seems to kick of update-initramfs) the process hangs:

Processing triggers for initramfs-tools ...
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.35-22-server
[--- hangs here --- ]

Running the command manually like this:

sudo update-initramfs -k all -u -v

Still results in a hang, the last lines of which are:
