What console are you using? Looks to me like you're hooked up to the VGA console, but the bootloader/initrd set their output to a serial console, or vice versa. Are you sure it hangs? Is there a kernel panic (i.e. num, scroll, & caps locks blink in unison), does an expected service not come up, or...? If you haven't disabled it, try hitting 'ctrl-alt-del' when you think you have it hung - chances are you'll get a summary reboot, indicating your console is pointing where you don't expect it or can't see it. There are other things that could cause this problem (or cause ctrl-alt-del to fail), but the most likely explanation is your 'console=' kernel argument.
