To clarify, by "frozen", I mean that the percentage progress bar freezes
at an arbitrary number (63.5%, 70%,...), that the machine does nothing
for 25 minutes, and that there is no disk activity. Is it possible there
is still work going on under the surface?

Here is fsck on my disks:

/dev/sda1: ********** WARNING: Filesystem still has errors **********

/dev/sda1: 120719/1221600 files (0.5% non-contiguous), 794100/2441872 blocks
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo e2fsck -n /dev/sda5
e2fsck 1.40-WIP (14-Nov-2006)
Warning!  /dev/sda5 is mounted.
Couldn't find ext2 superblock, trying backup blocks...
e2fsck: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/sda5

The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2
filesystem.  If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2
filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock
is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:
    e2fsck -b 8193 <device>
