Hey Guys, to get help you need to provide more specifics. There are a wide range of things that can cause the hanging up you mention. Reboot with boot flag -v. that will give you much more information on what is hanging you up. Take a picture and post that along with the details of the system you are trying to install on. Then you'll get more help.
Good luck,

I got hung up on the same screen. You should give us more info about your system to work with such as your mobo. I ended up getting past that screen by.
1. Removing Radeon 6850
2. Removing any PCIe Wireless adapter
3. Removing front HD Audio connector on Mobo
3. Removing front USB connector on Mobo
Then, booting up on Intel HD3000, I used -v -x GraphicsEnabler=No to install Lion.
After Installation, I plug everything back, boot using PCIRootUID=1
All of this is based on my system, but I got hung on the same screen as the first one you posted. So try it, although YMMV

My CPU is an intel i3, my motherboard is a gigabyte Sx2840 bios version p01-b0 and my graphics card is an nvidia geforce 9400. I had 6 gigs of ram but I took 2 out just in case. The computer has onboard graphics but it's wasn't compatible when I set up the hackintosh in the first place so I'm thinking that taking out the graphics card is probably a bad idea. I guess I'll try those boot flags and see what happens (is there a list of those anywhere?)
