I realize that this doesn't sound like terribly sophisticated advice (and it's not), but if I were you I'd start over. Do the install over again from scratch, formatting the relevant partitions during the installation. If you find that the install hangs at the same spot two or three times in a row, then I would use a newer copy of the installer, such as the Squeeze installer, the Sid installer, or a "daily build" development installer, even if you are trying to install Lenny. -- .''`.
