It hangs in a different place on mine.
For me, the last two messages before hanging are:
Starting startpar bridge for notification of upstart job start/stop
Stopping startpar bridge for notification of upstart job start/stop
At this point, the CD has stopped spinning, and nothing seems to be
happening.

I tried the 6/23 Live iso today on my Powermac MDD and it failed in
the same way as the 6/22 Live iso I reported earlier.
I used the boot parameters:
live-nosplash-powerpc snd-powermac.blacklist=yes
The last message on the screen before the boot process hangs is:
Waiting for network configuration...
Waiting up to 60 more seconds for network configuration
Booting system without full network configuration
After that the system hangs.
I can control-alt-F6 into a console, and then sudo shutdown -r now,
then contol-alt-F7, hit return and the system will shutdown.
Can you try booting with the above parameters to confirm? If you can
duplicate the bug, then we can figure out how to correctly report
it. (I took some photos of my display as the booting process
proceeded and then stopped.)

Back to the original topic of the email, I just downloaded the 06/23
PPC isos (both desktop and alternate). The desktop hung on me the
same as on 06/21 and 06/22. I put my 1GB chip back into my system
thinking that having only 256MB RAM might be the problem, but it
still hangs with 1GB RAM.
Usually when the Plymouth text screen changes background color from
cyan to black, there is additional text that displays to let you
know that the booting is taking place (I vaguely remember stuff
about a System V or something similar). On the desktop iso, the
loading dots just continue blinking from white to orange and back.
After about 10-15 minutes of waiting, I physically turn off the
computer.
The alternate CD boots and installs without any major problem
although the color scheme is really bad. When I'm typing in text,
it's green in a green box with a bright lime green background. The
contrast between the text and the input box is horrid. I have a
photo taken with my digital camera, so you can see the lack of
contrast: http://i.imgur.com/E8QO3ht.jpg
