Bad ram is always a possibility of course. Have you tried running a 
memory tester on the machine? Info available here:

Was the desktop the same architecture as the laptop? If the desktop was 
an i686, for example and the laptop a i386, the installer would have 
installed an i686 kernel and glibc. If that's the case, it would hang 
during boot, most likely.
