Try to make it print more information by disabling the graphical boot,
when in the grub prompt select the new kernel, press "e" to edit, then
go to the kernel line, press "e" again and erase the "rhgb quiet" part
at the end of the line. Press <enter> and then "b" (for boot).

Hard to know without more information about what is going on in the boot
process.
