Unable To Create CSR

I'm trying to create a certificate signed request on my Arch Linux machine and I was able to create a private key:

openssl genrsa -des3 -out server.key 2048
[enter a password]
[confirm your password]

The problem is after I generate the server.key from above, I initiate the following command and nothing happens. I'm prompted for the password but after that it just sits there and never responds. I never see my server.csr or am I dropped back into a shell. I don't know what is wrong or why it freezes.

openssl req -key server.key -out server.csr
Enter pass phrase for server.key:
