Actually, I'd guess it's hanging on something else. I had such a trouble
with my i2500 : it appeared apm(4) was in cause.

Try booting another kernel : look into the installation/floppies directory
of the cd and try the boot-tiny one.

That's a bit weird. With such a hang, I'd press the button for like ten
seconds to force a poweroff.

I doubt it's able to resize winxp partitions. Maybe a tool like Partition
Magic would be more appropriate.
