I had the same problem after updating a freshly installed Lucid Lynx (10.04) system with the package grub-pc 1.98-1ubuntu6. The program took ages (minutes that is) and then displayed, that the UUIDs had changed and I should point out which drives are the ones to install grub to. The presets were correct, yet pressing okay didn't help, after that the package installation hang and needed to be killed. My system uses software mirrored (RAID 1) drives (md0 /home, md1 /, md2 swap). It may have been just a coincidence, but polkitd took up 50% of CPU time,and dbus daemon 12% when this happend
Needed to do do dpkg -configure -a which caused the same problem, but when killed after the question were to install I was able to apt-get remove -purge grub-pc and reinstall it. Unfortunately this didn't help, so I finally reinstalled the Lynx. $ lspci 00:00.0 Memory controller: nVidia Corporation CK804 Memory Controller (rev a3) 00:01.0 ISA bridge: nVidia Corporation CK804 ISA Bridge (rev f3) 00:01.1 SMBus: nVidia Corporation CK804 SMBus (rev a2) 00:02.0 USB Controller: nVidia Corporation CK804 USB Controller (rev a2) 00:02.1 USB Controller: nVidia Corporation CK804 USB Controller (rev a3) 00:04.0 Multimedia audio controller: nVidia Corporation CK804 AC'97 Audio Controller (rev a2) 00:06.0 IDE interface: nVidia Corporation CK804 IDE (rev f2) 00:07.0 IDE interface: nVidia Corporation CK804 Serial ATA Controller (rev f3) 00:08.0 IDE interface: nVidia Corporation CK804 Serial ATA Controller (rev f3) 00:09.0 PCI bridge: nVidia Corporation CK804 PCI Bridge (rev f2) 00:0a.0 Bridge: nVidia Corporation CK804 Ethernet Controller (rev f3) 00:0b.0 PCI bridge: nVidia Corporation CK804 PCIE Bridge (rev f3) 00:0c.0 PCI bridge: nVidia Corporation CK804 PCIE Bridge (rev f3) 00:0d.0 PCI bridge: nVidia Corporation CK804 PCIE Bridge (rev f3) 00:0e.0 PCI bridge: nVidia Corporation CK804 PCIE Bridge (rev a3) 00:18.0 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K8 [Athlon64/Opteron] HyperTransport Technology Configuration 00:18.1 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K8 [Athlon64/Opteron] Address Map 00:18.2 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K8 [Athlon64/Opteron] DRAM Controller 00:18.3 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K8 [Athlon64/Opteron] Miscellaneous Control 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV710 [Radeon HD 4350] 01:00.1 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc RV710/730 05:06.0 Multimedia video controller: Internext Compression Inc iTVC15 MPEG-2 Encoder (rev 01) 05:07.0 USB Controller: VIA Technologies, Inc.
