That should tell you if you are using supported hardware. If you are sure that you are using supported hardware, try adding the verbose (-v) option to your GRUB boot command. At the GRUB screen, select your preferred boot option and press the 'E' key to allow editing of the boot command. Append '-v' to it and follow the onscreen instruction to apply the change and continue booting. This way you'll get better feedback about where your hang is occurring.
