It originally got stuck on the apt full-upgrade. After waiting 15 or
20 minutes, I killed the process and ran dpkg --configure -a but got
the same results.
Any ideas?
I thought the problem may be related to linux-headers-4.16.0-2-amd64
wasn't installed. This causes a problem setting up
linux-image-4.16.0-2-amd64. However, after installing the headers, I'm
still getting the same problem.
I also removed the various memtest86 packages since I don't really need
them. Unfortunately the initramfs build still gets stuck.
Next I tried removing old kernel crud from /boot since apt seemed to be
processing it when running the update-initramfs. Apt remove followed by
a manual rm of the old files left me with just files related to the 4.16
kernels.
I even tried rebooting to see if that cleared up the problem. It didn't.
I did notice however that I had the old grub options, which is expected
since the update-grub command probably never executed.
Any ideas?
