It might not be a hang, it might be simply that you loose the console.
If this is a redhat system, and you didn't tweak initrd and udev just
right, this can happen.
Try doing this:
mount --bind / /mnt
cp -a /dev/null /mnt/dev
cp -a /dev/console /mnt/dev
cp -a /dev/hv* /mnt/dev
umount /mnt

Then again, your initrd might be corrupted.
