Comment 7 for bug 37527

I am having the same problem. Similar hardware to Roberto, _not_ AMD64
Athlon XP 2500+ on an Asus A7N8 nForce2 with 512 MB RAM
update-initramfs sits there doing nothing, making it impossible to complete an upgrade with apt-get. Killing the post-install script which starts update-initramfs results in
"Errors were encountered while processing:
 volumeid
 udev
 grub
 initramfs-tools
 console-setup
 kubuntu-artwork-usplash
 kubuntu-desktop"
update-initramfs seems to be started by the post-install scripts for a few of these packages it mentions. Hmmm, I hope this thing reboots ok now... :-S
