  I have seen gruub hang on stage 2 and heard others with 
  similar problems.

  In my case I did the following to get past this blockage.

   1) make sure no usb device is plugged in - no mouse - nothing.

   2) see if that boots.

   3) if not - boot the rescue cd with networking on
      ( I assume you can get to internet)
      chroot /mnt/sysimage
      rpm --import usr/share/doc/fedora-release-3/RPM-GPG-KEY*
      yum update kernel

      boot the new kernel and see if you have joy.

    [ If you cannot get to internet for some reason - download
     the latest kernel - trasfer via cdrom and install by hand.]

  After you are up and running do a yum update.

   good luck.
