Nope, today the aim is to get the beam to travel the full 27km only, things are going well so they should easily be able to start some big bangs within the coming months as planned.
From their site:
It planned to circulate the first beams 10th September 2008. First collisions at high energy are expected about a month later with the first results from the experiments soon after.
(I like the liberal use of "soon after" here for the results... nothing too exciting will be processed/assessed for a year at least.)
