Hi Ross,

I've read on the list that it's possible to boot with a different 
debian CD. It seems there're different boot kernels on different debian 
CDs.

Alternatively you can try to use different boot disks. There're some 
unofficial boot disks floating around with reiserfs or ext3 support for 
example.

IIRC the md driver is for logical volumes or raid. May be the recovery 
partition caused the md driver to hang.

Regards,

Michael
