Default Stuck at Symlinks and Permissions - Bugless Beast GPA 15

I'm trying to install Bugless Beast GPA 15, but after the system files were installed my Droid got stuck on "Symlinks and Permissions." It has been stuck there for about an hour now, and I'm not sure if it is safe to remove the battery and try again. I'm using the latest version of Clockworkmod Recovery. I just want to know if removing the battery will be safe, and, if not, what I should do to fix this.

EDIT- Well, it just moved on to the M logo. Hopefully it doesn't get stuck there. I'm kind of surprised that it finally managed to finish after an hour and 18 minutes.

If your in the middle of flashing a rom and you pull the battery it won't brick but you will have to reflash the rom or restore the backup you hopefully made.

Wait a minute... is there a GPA15 version of BB? Or is that a mistaken reference to the recently-released stock GPA15?

I have no idea, it was called GPA15, and I got it from the BB website.



So, instead of restoring my backup after getting stuck at the M logo I attempted to reflash the same ROM a second time. It finished within several seconds and booted perfectly. I recommend doing this if it ever happens. I didn't like the ROM, though, so I switched back to SS 5.2.
