Have you tried a text mode installation?  Type "linux text" at the boot 
prompt.  (The default is a graphical mode installation).  See if it still 
hangs, at that point.  If you have access to another machine you might want 
to do the media check and verify it's OK, but it sounds like you've tried 
at least 2 CD sets (FC1 and RH9) already.
