It's probably not the md driver which is hanging (it's fairly
harmless hardware wise) but whatever comes after it. I don't
know exactly what that may be, but it could be a SCSI adapter,
network card, .. Which of these do you have? You might need to
give parameters to the kernel to tell it their addresses etc
to avoid hangs.
