Re: Upgrade to Jessie freezes when Grub configuration file is being generated



I finally found a way to bypass the grub installation that was hanging. Just did
pkill grub*

Then I added
GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=true
to /etc/default/grub
and typed
update-grub

The upgrade is now smooth and fast.
However, it still takes about 5 minutes to reboot with the same messages shown below.

Thanks for the reply,

I did a Jessie dist-upgrade but I have been on testing for sometimes so it was not such a huge upgrade.

On reboot (after trying to finish the installation of grub) I get

INFO: task mount:12243 blocked for more than 120 seconds
"ech0 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hun_task_timeout_secs" disables this message
ITCO_wdt: Unexpected close, not stopping watchdog!

and then it reboots.

For me upgrade problem, it comes from the update-grub, if I run it I can the same
Generating grub configuration file ...

I will try to purge and reinstall grub. I have seen it as a solution for Ubuntu
