During my upgrade from 11.10 (about 3 wks old) to 12.04, it appears to have an issue while running 'update-grub'. The upgrade (through GUI) was all going through fine, until it appeared to hang. Looking at the terminal output, it said something about update-grub, listed a few boot options ('kernel 3.0..., 'kernel 3.2...'), then stops at the memtest entry.
Looking in /boot/grub, there was a grub.cfg.new, that looked about half done - last modified about the time it stalled.
Looking at top, 'update-grub' is just using all of one of my cores, and did so for 20 mins or so. Then I killed it, the upgrade appeared to carry on, then a few mins later, the same thing happened. And I've been round the same cycle again.
Any suggestions on what the issue could be?
