Had the same problem one one of my machines - dpkg --configure -a,
update-initramfs and update-grub were all hanging at the same point.
Reason for this was a stale "modprobe" process in state "D"
(uninterruptible sleep), which very probably was left by an unsuccessful
upgrade-manager run (which I canceled after hanging for 20 hours or so).
Since I was not able to kill the process, only option was to reboot.
After reboot, dpkg --configure -a completed without problems, and the
new kernel was installed properly.
Sorry for not being able to give more details about the bug itself, just
wanted to document this "workaround" for others which run into the same
problem.
