It might not be hung. If you have a USB keyboard, it may not be "seen" as the keyboard until an OS is installed that supports it.

Hope this helps.

it's not the USB keyboard..it's normal keyboard
..it is working properly until it get's to the SELECT YOUR LANGUAGE STAGE.
i am pressing the F2 KEY TO forward it is working properly.
Thanking You

have you tried using a USB keyboard, really, honestly ...

unless you're installing from an install server and you can patch the install server it is probably your best bet.
