All add a note about the log buffer, thanks.

  Just happened again. The error is: Line 128,493 - INSTALLER LOG SHARED BUFFER IS FUL This time I only opened the log viewer briefly at one point during the upgrade, and again after several hours because it seemed to have hung again. I can't imagine I'm the only one who's affected by this issue. I'll report back when/if I find out how to fix it.

    What did you do after this happened? Is it safe to restart the machine, or will that totally hose the install?

      (Gah! HN's anti procrastination measures have kicked in so I can't login with my normal account... ) Anyway, I've got threads open at Apple ( https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6603910 https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6603910 ) and at MacRumours ( http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1803281 http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1803281 ) describing my situation - hopefully some kind soul will be able to help out. In the meantime I've restarted the process one more time. The laptop still boots straight into the Yosemite installer so I don't think the hard reboots have adversely affected the machine. edit: It occurs to me that the longest I've waited has been 12 hours (my first attempt). I've now seen reports of 15 hour installs, perhaps I didn't wait long enough? Even if the log buffer is full, that wouldn't necessarily mean that install has outright failed... hmm
