It's difficult to know if your system really is hanging.. or if there is a small problem with the display drivers that is affecting X startup for rhgb and firstboot.. without some more information. Doing a fresh install and booting without the boot options quiet and rhgb would be interesting... to see if firstboot behaves without running rhgb. Similarly doing an install and preventing firstboot from running to see if X starts up correctly would be useful.
Might try booting to runlevel 3 (type "a" at grub boot screen, backspace to delete "rhgb quiet" then "3<Enter>"), log in as root, and do
# system-config-display --reconfig
Check detected hardware carefully to make sure it matches yours.
