Humm, this sounds familiar.. When I boot with the rescue floppy, or the standart kernel, it hangs the first time (perhaps warm boot). Then I reset and it boots. It's one of the unneeded drivers that hangs on autodetect, I guess. Then I recompiled the kernel with only the needed drivers, and everything is alright. Did you recompile your kernel ?
