^^What he said. Plus, what were your installation steps? Did you install GAPPs at the same time, or an aftermarket kernel?
I didn't attempt to install anything else besides the ROM. I have now tried the Carbon ROM too and the same thing happens, except now I stare at the Carbon boot screen.

The devs were, as usual, amazing and I was quickly and easily able to root my RAZR M and then unlock the bootloader. I pushed the CM10.1 ROM to the ol' external SD card, did a full system wipe and all that, then selected install .zip from external SD, installed CM10.1 (all from within Clockwork Mod recovery, or at least that's the recovery I think I'm using, the icon looks like this 
)
Anyway, when it says install complete I hit reboot and the phone sits there running the CM10.1 animation for hours. I'm sure it would run until the battery was dead if I didn't plug it in to the charger. I've re-wiped and reinstalled the .zip several times and nothing changes. I even downloaded and installed the Eclipse ROM and the only difference is now it's the Eclipse animation that runs forever. From this description is there anything obvious that I messed up somewhere?

Did you backup your previous ROM before wiping the system?
I didn't. The phone was new out of the box, I guess I didn't think there was much to back up.
I don't know what I'm doing anymore.....

Well, I would try wiping you cache and data in your recovery and try rebooting first.

I hit "wipe cache partition" in recovery and one of the things that comes up is four versions of this: "E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/"
Any ideas what that might mean?

OK, I thought I had tried multiple times to just hit data wipe/factory reset, but I tried it just now and it worked. I was able to get the Carbon ROM to boot up. I'm going to assume that the problem was just simply that I hadn't properly wiped*. Had it not been for you guys who knows how long I would have sat here useless. Thanks!!!
*my 4 year-old has the same problem. ;-)
