It never completes booting, you go through the name, colour, gender, school grade but then it just shows the blank screen with only the mouse cursor screen never getting as far as the Sugar Home View..

What release are you using? Can you go to a text console (Ctrl + Alt +
F2) and login there once it hangs? If so we might be able to get some
logs.

It could be, do you find it happens on specific Activities, when the
Activity freezes does it allow you to go back to the home screen
(press F3)? If not can you go to a text console (Ctrl + Alt + F2) and
login there.
