So you have two problems.. one is a kernel module is loading and hanging the boot process, this is usually blamed on udev, the fact that hitting a key helps implies some interrupt handling problem maybe.. The other is the graphical boot not working properly on your card, for that you can boot with nomodeset on the command line, if udev hangs that is the other problem. For the graphical boot, I'd need to know the graphics card and type of card, agp pci etc. and type of display plugged in.
