If it's printed the message, it's finished with the probe.  It's likely 
that it was looking for something else and either hung or you got 
impatient before it timed out.  Normal procedure as documented by 
anyone that's ever written up the configuration process is to disable 
everything that you don't have using userconfig; if you haven't tried 
this, you should.
