Thank you sir, I will check that. I did do another build with 12apr05 
xen-unstable and it did not have the same symptom/problem, xen-unstable changed 
around 16-17apr05, to expose this symptom on a thinkpad. Will look deeper.

Have you tried messing with the 'floppy=' parameter on the kernel
command line?
See Documentation/floppy.txt

Alternatively, just config the driver out of your kernel, to confirm
that this is what is causing the hang.

We use the floppy driver in PIO rather than DMA mode, and this is must
be causing the probe code to get confused under some circumstances.
(thinkpad floppy drives are somewhat notorious, and there's lots of work
arounds in the probe code)
