Boot process freezes on laptop



I am trying to install debian 2.1 from a CD that came with a book about debian. I am trying to install it on a 933 mnz laptop and when I try to boot it for the first time she whole system freezes at the line that says:
 
md driver 0.36.3 MAX_MD_DEV=4, MAX_REAL=8
 
I let the system sit for about an hour and it didn't move.  I tried to boot on an old 233 mhz machine and it worked just fine. I am inexperienced with linux, if you could please help me I would greatly appreciated.
 
Thanks,
Charles Janik
