F14 installation hung on "running post-installation scripts" for 90 minutes

Hi, I'm trying to perform an install of F14 (fresh install over F13), and it has been showing "running post-installation scripts" for 1 1/2 hours now. I am wondering if this is unusual and what the implications might be of power-cycling and rebooting. I'd note this is a fairly fast machine with 2 quad-core Xeons (I forget their model number). Thanks.

I never would have had the patience to wait an hour and a half. I would have hit the reset button after 5 minutes or so, but that's just me. I couldn't care less what happens to any of my installed systems. In your case, it seems pretty obvious that nothing is going to happen. If you made a backup of important data then hit that button. What's the worst that can happen? On the other hand, if you didn't backup important data .....
