There is an issue regarding rhgb and the combination of programs on the 
installation disc(s). You might need to edit the bootloader and remove 
rhgb quiet from the menu that you get when booting up. Basically, you 
highlight your desired kernel from the menu. You then press e to get 
into the edit mode. you then move down to the second line of the boot 
information. You need to hit e again to edit this line. Remove rhgb 
quiet from the second line. Press enter, then b. The b command will boot 
your computer with the edited out options and you will not see the 
graphical boot and also more of the messages that the boot process hides 
from the default user eyes.

Update your system with the latest upgrades from the repositories. When 
you reboot again, things should work. This is my guess from your 
description of the boot hang.
