I guess Jordan is reading this anyway: Please provide me with details: 1) does the system complete the final sync ? 2) does it clear the screen in preparation of a warm boot ? 3) does it require a power-off or can it be made to boot by some other means (Ctl-Alt-Del) ? 4) does it always hang ? 5) do you know that the hang is not caused by some unrelated problem (BROKEN_KEYBOARD_RESET comes to mind :) ?
