Yes, Nokia Data Gathering did it to me too. The MySQL install script was taking more than 20 minutes and I had enough. I didn't realize it would jam up the boot process if I turned it off. I am irritated that it does since if this were a debian computer, shutting it off during an application installation would not cause it to fail to boot. Of course, if you were installing a kernel or bootloader it might but NOT an application.
I guess I have no choice now, it's been sitting at 3% for quite some time. Anyone know what it is actually doing? Is it trying to complete the aborted installation? Is there no way of telling it to skip it?

VERY IMPORTANT NEWS EVERYONE
YOU DO NOT NEED TO REFLASH
I just hit CTRL+C a couple times and it will kill that script (the one which prints "Installing updates do not interrupt" to the console) and allow the phone to continue booting!! (I also hit 'u' a couple times because thats the bootloader key but I doubt that did anything.)
You don't need a new battery or a flasher or anything, just Ctrl-C.
Once you've rebooted you will need to repair the packaging system state with dpkg from the command line (I haven't done that yet but it should be easy, I've done it several times on a full debian box, and once on the phone.)

(If you are already familiar with debian package administration this post will not be of much use to you.)
You will need to run from the Terminal app:
If you don't have gainroot installed then you are probably in trouble.
Then:
This told me that "ndg" is in an inconsistent state and that I must continue installing it in order to remove it.
So run:
Answer all the inane mysql prompts, it doesn't matter what answers you give we are just going to remove it in a moment:
There are probably several other dependencies that should be removed but mysql will likely slow down your phone if it is not removed.
You will need to run from the Terminal app:
Code:
sudo gainroot
Then:
Code:
dpkg --reconfigure -a
So run:
Code:
apt-get install ndg
Code:
apt-get purge ndg mysql-server

You really made my day - had everyhting in place again for a reflash - untill I saw you message !
It's up again now !! That saved me a lot of hassle & stress.
The cause probably is Nokia Data Gathering
Thanks again !

Thanks for you reply.
I did issue that command.
And followed the instructions to (re)install & then uninstall/remove NDG.
But I get stuck again ;-)

Try to clear the package cache first
Is wget installed at all?
Then try to reinstall
At last try to get rid
Code:
apt-get clean
Code:
apt-cache policy wget
Code:
apt-get install --reinstall ndg
Code:
apt-get remove --purge ndg mysql-server-5.0
