More details please. When you say "hangs", what exactly do you mean?<br/>
At what stage in the booting progress does this occur? What happens<br/>

Sounds like your system is in fact booting. What do you see on this<br/>
console? Can you log in? What desktop environment do you use (Gnome,</div>

<div name="quoted-content">I use xfce with mdm</div>
<div name="quoted-content"><br/>
KDE, etc?) Is the corresponding login manager running on your system?</div>

Has it logged anything in /var/log/messages?</div>
