Importing New Config Hangs at "Invoking start script 'sysctl'

[GlowDrop]

Hi all. New and not very knowledgeable so if I'm missing information you need please let me know.

I'm attempting to import a backup of my config to new hardware and the import proceeds normaly until it reaches "Invoking start scipt 'sysctl' and then it hangs and nothing I do from that point changes anything. I can still type into the command prompt but nothing happens. ctrl+C does not kill the import. I have left it for hours thinking maybe it just was taking a while but no progress. Where to I even start to resolve this so I can get my config imported?

I remember this vaguely. Something about eee sysctl values in em/igb NIC driver?
