(I may be mistaken, but) this line isn't actually caused by the MD driver, which is not a hardware driver but a software device. The device after MD is the one that hangs. The best solution is to recompile the kernel with just the devices you need. Also, if the device immediately after MD tells you what it is an what I/O it is looking at, you could reserve it at the LILO prompt (then in lilo.conf) so that the device isn't allowed to probe.
