Kernel update stalls at parsing hook [autodetect]

Hey, got the weirdest issue, when I do an install of a kernel (either arch or bfs-pae) this is what I get:

Running command: /sbin/mkinitcpio -k 2.6.30-bfs-pae -c /etc/mkinitcpio.conf -g /boot/kernel26-bfs-pae.img
:: Begin build
:: Parsing hook [base]
:: Parsing hook [udev]
:: Parsing hook [autodetect]

It sits at this autodetect phase for hours never completing. I have to killall -9 pacman and rm /var/lib/pacman/db.lck to stop.
The log file has nothing additional and I honestly have no idea as to what else to check.
I'm on x86_64 system with all packages up to date as of yesterday (09/08/2009). I was able to install the kernel26-bfs-pae package a few days ago but no kernel since. All other packages install without issue.
Any help would be much appreciated

Re: Kernel update stalls at parsing hook [autodetect]

If we assume that it's a command from /lib/initcpio/install/autodetect that's hanging, you could possibly locate it with the help of a process viewer like htop, whose tree view comes in handy.

Re: Kernel update stalls at parsing hook [autodetect]

Thanks for the advice, I believe I had my Android phone charging over usb (not mounted though). After a reboot and not having the phone plugged in everything went smoothly for the first kernel install (kernel26-bfs) but then I tried to build a second kernel pkg (kernel26-bfs-pae) and am stuck again at the auto detect. I don't have any devices plugged in this time either. Here's htop's treeview: th_Screenshot-3.png

Any ideas?

I had the same problem: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/16127
