Edit that line, add 'debug' and 'text' to the boot line, see how far it
gets. Try to list the last 25 odd lines of the boot messages before you
assume its hanging.
Also, can you quantify what you consider 'hanging'. Was it stuck for 1
min, 15 min, 30 min.
If the kernel does not report something along the lines of 'this machine
does not support long mode', its highly probable that the cpu/bios are fine.

yes, 32bit host should be able to burn x86_64 media just fine. did you
sha sum check the isos files before trying to do the burn ? That would
be a good indicator about bad or incomplete data.

Well, since we are hoping to help you with the ts130, it would only
really be relevant if you were to try the 5.7/x86_64 installer on this
machine. If nothing else, as a data point to compare and test the
64bit'ness of this machine.
As a second data point, you could grab the c6/x86_64/livecd and see how
you get along with booting that.
