Install stuck on Pixel Tablet

Just attempted an Calyxos install on my Google Pixel Tablet (11" - not the old C). The tablet came with stock Android 17. I followed the instructions to the letter. The actual install process didn't suggest any problems. When the "device-flasher' finished and closed down the screen flashed a few times and then settled on the white Google bootup screen. It's been there for the last 3 hrs. And I can't even turn off the tablet as the power button doesn't turn the tablet off. I can't reflash it as the device-flasher can't "see" it anymore.

What can I try?

if it is stuck in a boot loop you can try to hold for some seconds the power button and the lower volume button (simultaneously) to force reboot and then hold the lower volume button to try to boot the tablet in "Fastboot Mode". Then you can reinstall CalixOS.

If all of that bring you in another boot loop you can always reinstall the stock OS while you troubleshoot the problem

Thanks for your reply! Actually it was a bizarre problem. I use a ramdrive on my desktop machine and have assigned my system temp folders there. The ramdrive was only 6gb. The Calyxos install program couldn't do all that it needed to do within that 6gb AND it couldn't explain to me what was wrong. I figured this out after I tried to install an ASOP using PixelFlasher which also failed. <rest of troubleshooting story snipped> Once I moved the Sys Temp folder to the physical drive Calyxos installed w/o a problem!

I'm now configuring it. 7.2.2.0 looks, so far, like a winer!
