Upgrade hangs | Parsing hook [autodetect] @ kernel26-2.6.21.1-8

hi
well i tried to do a pacman -Syu and everything went fine till the kernel wasn't upgrading

(1/1) upgrading kernel26                            [#####################] 100%

i guess pacman hangs on this and won't go any further...
Any help would be appreciated.

I have the same problem on a manual run of mkinitcpio, it hangs at :: Parsing hook [autodetect] and cpu usage drops to 0%, all I can do is ctrl-c.
Any thoughts?

EDIT: now it suddenly works after a reboot... Strange.
