I've seen hangs like that early on in both 8.0 and 8.2, but they were due to applications (msec for one) that run after the bootloader setup, and in that case it was very consistant on every machine, and correctect before we ever got to making ISOs. If you're getting as far as the bootloader setup, most everything is done but X setup, which could actually be done afterwards using drakxconf.

Re: TiBook 667 install hangs on Bootloader
I had a similar problem. It turned out that I had more than 16 partitions on my hard disk (the Apple driver partitions, OS-9, ML, OS-X, it all adds up after a while...) When I got everything crammed down under 16 partitions, the problems went away. Does that ring a bell?
