Which type of install are you using? GUI or text? If GUI, the first
thing I'd try would be text install. If text, have you tried to switch
to the other virtual consoles when the machine hangs or is the keyboard
so locked that even that doesn't work? If you can switch to the other
virtual consoles, you'll get a bash prompt on one of them which you
might be able to use to investigate further. Also, you get two more
screens with infos, warnings and error messages, which might also help.
HTH,
