Define 'hung'. Was the scrollbar moving at all.Generally, hangs like that are often indicative of a hardware problem, rather than the software one. Especially the tail end of an Anaconda upgrade, which is disk intensive.---- hung as in... - no disk activity - unable to switch to virtual console <Control><Alt><F2> (# or F3/F4) - no visible activity on screen
Virtual console switching is driven by the kernel. I can think of only three possible causes that have this result:
1) A kernel bug 2) A bug in x.org (including the x.org driver for your video card) 3) A hardware problem
