Hello,
I have an odd issue that someone has hopefully seen before or can provide a next step. Firstly, I installed Ubuntu 9.04 about 7 months ago and things ran fine. I then did an upgrade (via apt-get) to the 9.10 kernel:
*
Current: Linux 2.6.31-16-generic #53-Ubuntu SMP Tue Dec 8 04:02:15 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux
*
Still, I had a properly functioning system. I then decided to install selinux since I was interested in learning how to set it up and get familiar with it's security features. When I was installing it, it got stuck on the portion where it had to modify Grub. It got stuck in a similar point as the following:
__
sudo dpkg --configure -a
Setting up grub-pc (1.97~beta4-1ubuntu4.1) ...
Installation finished. No error reported.
This is the contents of the device map /boot/grub/device.map.
Check if this is correct or not. If any of the lines is incorrect,
fix it and re-run the script `grub-install'.
(hd0) /dev/sda

It just hangs at this point and never completes the installation. I get no error, it just freezes at this point. The above is where I am now where I can't complete a Grub install. Initially, I had rebooted the system and got stuck at the sh: grub> prompt instead of a proper Grub boot menu, but I have since fixed that and can boot into my existing Ubuntu desktop from a proper Grub menu.
Has anyone seen the attempt to update Grub, or install selinux, get stuck at this point in the installation?
I appreciate any insight that can be provided.
