One final observation to make, re-attempting the upgrade fails reliably at the same point. The process is hung after printing:
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-3.0.0-17-generic qps shows the process tree as dpkg -> sh -> sh -> mkinitramfs -> mkinitramfs -> modprobe; awk. I expect this is quietly generating the "task modprobe:639 blocked...
