[17:49] <sacolcor> My apologies if this isn't the correct forum; feel free to redirect me to the proper location.  The installer appears to have hung on me during a Feisty->Gutsy upgrade.  The last line in the terminal window is "Preconfiguring packages ...", but it's been like that for several hours.  Any ideas as to how I could run this down, and/or safely stop and restart the upgrade?  Thanks!
[18:08] <nxvl> hi
[18:08] <nxvl> is someone around?
[18:11] <nxvl> nevermind i just solved it
[23:02] <mshadle> is the order of parameters passed to the vmlinuz kernel important?
[23:02] <mshadle> i am using a CDROM through IPMI
[23:02] <mshadle> it can boot the CD, then it says it can't detect the CD
[23:02] <mshadle> but i hit enter a couple times through the locale settings and then it's like the CD is ready and it can check the installer components and install
[23:03] <mshadle> the weirdest thing
[23:20] <mshadle> weird
[23:20] <mshadle> just hitting enter to re-try the cdrom works.
[23:21] <mshadle> i need some way to delay and then retry automatically
