Hang at fstab

If it hangs at fstab it sounds like you have a problem with the install. Try again to install this same machine and pick all default options.

You do know that support for FC6 was dropped quite a while ago? The currently supported versions are Fedora 9 and 10.

It sounds like something in your swap file is not quite right in your fstab. Posting back your /etc/fstab would probably allow us to help you more easily.
