What may be happening is that you may need to be on the console and accept the license on the first reboot after the update.
We tried to turn this off for CLI only installs, but in some combinations of software, you may still get the acceptance screen and have to complete it.
So just to be clear, some of us who installed 7.0 servers in the GUI and then carted them to a remotely colo might be screwed if the machine reboots after updating to 7.1? Are there some files I can touch (or whatever) to prevent this from happening? Or is the best solution to go to the colo and reboot?
I have consoles for all of my professional servers, but not my hobby server! Fun fun! And I feel for you guys, given that upstream was the main cause.

Greg,
After my 7.1 upgrade the login gui is no longer usable because it will not scroll. However, if you are using a remote connection all you need to do is to run 'initial-setup' and accept the license agreement. However, be careful. The first time I activated 'inital-setup' I elected not to answer the question "yes" and the machine went in to a shutdown and then reboot. At this point, I wish I had not upgraded to 7.1
