Title:
  update-initramfs -u hangs; update-initramfs -u -v works

Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Hi there,

  For reasons totally unknown to me, `update-initramfs` (Version:
  0.103ubuntu0.2) fails to update my kernel and just hangs indefinitely
  with [sudo] `update-initramfs -u`. However, `update-initramfs -u -v`
  completes successfully:

  $ sudo update-initramfs -u

  I'm using Linux Mint (14), an Ubuntu fork, and I obviously expect the
  tool to work when it is not being verbose as well!
