I haven't tried to install woody fresh yet but some troubleshooting
I would do:

- which kernel you using(Specifically, if possible)
- which kernel did you use for the install(specifically if possible)
- try booting into single user mode.. if your using lilo:
linux single
or
linux init=/bin/bash
(then remount / - mount / -o remount,rw)
 and edit /etc/init.d/hwclock.sh and near the top put: "exit 0" without
the quotes, this should(I think) stop the script from running the
commands.

then reboot, and see if it still hangs, if it does not, and you can login
remove the exit 0 and try to run the script manually and see what happens,
also how much swap do you have on the system?
