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

- borked_borked 12y ago(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
