Problem installing SailfishOS community edition on Gemini

I'm trying to install the latest SailfishOS community edition on my Gemini. It apparently flashes OK, I can boot into SailfishOS, and it asks me a couple of questions to set up (lcoale, time/date, set a security code), and then I'm left with a black screen with the SailfishOS spinner. It's been sitting and spinning like this for at least half an hour so far.

I don't even know how to start diagnosing this one, or what I could have done differently that might make a difference.

Edit: I've found that holding Fn-Esc for a couple of seconds brings up the theme/off menu, so I can change the colour of the spinner, or stop it, but I can't seem to do anything else.
