off the top of my head,
try editing the boot-config in grub, add a "1" or "S" on old redhat distros
to end of command line args.
that should drop you to root shell in emergency / maintenance mode.
(or it used to, I dont recall last time I did it,

I suspect you might hit that hang 1st, but its an easy enough test.
