Field Note #1 @Ali C. 2008-12-10

The message itself is normal for the installation process. Stopping there, however, is not.
Try -x at bootup.

Field Note #2 @axhi 2008-12-11

is this after you installed or during the install?

Field Note #3 @nfoav8or 2008-12-11 ↳ Re: @swed

it appears to be during... another "-f -x -v" case...
