I retried, but let it sit there with the blinking cursor while cleaning
the house. After a loooong time it finally popped up a graphical
installer.

All log files seem to have started at the moment the system woke up, so
it seems like it 'just' needs a long time loading the initram or
something like that? Right now it's sitting in the installer waiting for
me to select disk. Is there anything I should check?

Restart the upgrade with some options?
