[Multipart message — attachments visible in raw view] — view raw

uname -a 3.16.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.16.36-1+deb8u2 (2016-10-19) x86_64
GNU/Linux

I ran sudo apt update followed by upgrade

it hangs at the following point:

Setting up linux-image-3.16.0-4-amd64 (3.16.39-1) ...
/etc/kernel/postinst.d/initramfs-tools:
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-3.16.0-4-amd64

Progress: [  0%]

Any advice very gratefully received.

Thanks

Mike

Please interrupt the currently running process (STRG+C) and do it in two
steps: 

a) sudo -i 
   to get a genuine root shell

b) apt upgrade

With this I want to check if there is anything funny happening with the
terminal when using just "sudo apt upgrade".

If this does not change anything, interrupt the process again and just
issue "update-initramfs -u -v -k 3.16.0-4-amd64" to see if anything
strange happens during the generation of the initramfs.
