If grub hangs it sometimes means that the boot manager isn't on the MBR correctly.

What I always do in these cases is boot from rescue and run grub, then type in:

root (hd0,0)
setup (hd0)

then boot, or just:

grub-install /dev/device

Of course all the above depends on their device name / grub numbering.

Michael.
