Hi, today I've migrated my system from ext3 to xfs. When I tried to install grub via grub-install --recheck /dev/hda the install process hangs. An apt-get update process in another terminal began to hang too. I think it tried to write into the frozen root filesystem. So I opened a new terminal and executed xfs_freeze -u /boot/grub. After this command my system was working again.
Imho grub tries to write to some file in the root filesystem during install (i.e. a new device map). Because the filesystem is frozen it deadlocks. If you need more info please contact me.
