A friend of mine had exactly the same problem with the vanilla kernel on his
Toshiba laptop (don't know the model, but it's a brand new and decent
machine). I then gave him my bf2.4 cd (which works perfectly for me).
Strangely enough the new kernel still hangs at boot. It's not wile tying to
load the MD driver but just after a driver whose name I can't remeber right
now. I think it was something like "MTP" followed by a comany name.
I can reproduce the bug when I meet him again (tomorrow) and write down where
exactly it stopped if that helps.
