Well if this is an option. But before paying and with a bit of bad luck
getting the same problem in 8.1 it would be nice to know what's the cause.
You do not have remote console access and a way to mount a virtual cdrom?
no. if i can't ssh then i need local help. i'll ask them to try rollback
before resorting to cd.
Good idea. Rollback does work, and has worked for me in a very similar
situation, and hopefully will work for you as well. After the rollback,
reboot, and start again from your initial upgrade command. I would highly
recommend using tmux, and also installing a remote console/management card
for your system so you can control it remotely. The cost of the card is
probably less than remote-hands cost on one support call.
