Repository upgrade fails 11.1.0.7 db -10.2.0.5 GC patchset

Question

Installing GridControl 10.2.0.5 on Windows 2003 Server SP2. Initial install successful of 10.2.0.2 using existing database 11.1.0.7. The database was created new to use for GC. Patchset no problems until Configuration Assitant step "Repository Upgrade" failed with errors:
rem Copyright (c) 1999, 2009, Oracle. All rights reserved.
oracle.sysman.emcp.oms.RepositoryPatchUpgrade -verbose
oracle.sysman.emcp.oms.OmsPatchUpgrade -configureOms
oracle.sysman.emcp.aggregates.ConfigPlugIn

oracle.sysman.emcp.oms.EMCLISetup
oracle.sysman.ccr.configCCR.ConfigCCRPlugIn
oracle.sysman.ccr.configCCR.ConfigRepeaterPlugIn
Tried to find cause of errors and cannot seem to understand why this step failed.
Considering uninstalling GC and Oracle 11g and reinstalling GC with "new database" option.
Anyone successful at installing GC 10.2.0.5 with an 11g database?
Thank you,

Can anyone help me figure out why the domU is just hanging/blocked?It's not hanging (blocked just means it doesn't need the CPU) -- it's just switched into a graphic mode that the console view can't display. You can either VNC into the guest, or change the kernel boot parameters by removing rhgb quiet and replacing them with console=xvc0 -- this should allow you to see the full boot process and answer the first-boot interview questions without using VNC.
You can get the VNC details by running: virsh dumpxml <domain ID> and you can get the domain ID from the xm list output.
