I'm stuck with an exception during upgrading SharePoint 2010 to SP1. It happens during provisioning of the central administration web app. I initially ran the configuration wizard and got the exception there.
After finding out where the configuration wizard failed (during Central Administration provisioning), I ran that portion via powershell in the hope it would give me more debug information.
Here's the output:
PS C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\BIN> .\PSCONFIG.EXE -cmd

and the application event log.

I looked at the log file but it doesn't tell me anything useful. Maybe some of you can decipher the problem?
