If you can't find out what's been installed and what isn't, yes, I'd 
abort and try again.  Seems I always end up doing that anyways.  B^)

24x80 is *not* enough buffer space on any of the 3 log screens to be 
able to scroll back and see information that has scrolled off the 
screen.  Seems that's always what happens, by the time you find the 
right screen to look at, the useful information has scrolled off the top 
of it.

Could be just package cleanup (ie deleting the OLD RPMs from the db, 
cleaning up the grub.conf file, etc.)  Or it could be actually starting 
to run the transaction in which case its only starting to install the N 
packages....

Can you see if the new kernel is in your grub.conf?

If you chroot to your /mnt/sysimage, does rpm -qa show the new RPMS as 
installed?  Does it show any of your old ones too?
