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)
