On the last couple of updates to my Ubuntu 14.04 LTS system, the installation process has got stuck at the point where the kernel image is being installed.
It's worked for my primary Ubuntu installation partition, but appears to be stuck on partition sda5, where I have an older Ubuntu version.
What's causing this, and are there any logs I can look in for clues?
Here's a screenshot of the update window. At this point it hangs, and the CPU usage goes sky high. I have to kill it before the machine shuts down due to overheating!
As requested, here's the output of parted -l
.

update-grub
, a tool to detect installed systems and (re)generate the GRUB bootloader configuration files. I edited your title to reflect this. - And as it saysFound Ubuntu 11.10 ...
, I think that it's not the 11.10 installation which causes the problem, but the one which it tries to detect afterwards. What other systems do you have installed? The output ofsudo parted -l
could be useful, please edit your question to add it.
