That would be a bug.

The install guide has some suggestions on boot options you can try. It
may also be worth checking if any related hangs were fixed in updates -
if so then Fedora 10 or the Fedora 9 respins might work better. Offhand I
can't remember one, or a matching bug report but others may know.
