I've never done an upgrade before though.
You are brave to attempt any of this remotely.

From the KVM can you CTRL-C and reach a shell prompt? If you can, is the ramdisk kernel able to communicate over the OS's network interfaces?

I don't understand the cause of the "hang" from the information you've provided. Regardless of cause, the manual method outlined in the upgrade guide may be a solution.

Whether you use the ramdisk kernel and scripts, or use the manual upgrade in place, you should have backups of your production system, so that you can recover from them if necessary.
