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.
