Huh? If it hangs at boot, how do you get there?
Did you play about with selecting individual packages, or just use a
default install (workstation, server, laptop, etc)?

Hrm. That's just broken.
You didn't do the try-and-install-multiple-times-over-a-breaking-install
trick did you? A default install simply will not have these problems,
full stop.
What video card does this laptop have? Details, please.
