I know it's bad form to reply to your own message, but I just resolved
my problem.

The Fedora Core 2 kernel isn't the source of the problem. It's the
rc.sysinit script. It expects to use raidstart and so checks for the
presence of the /etc/raidtab file. Since I don't have one, no attempt
was made to start the raid.

I'll hammer together changes to allow mdadm --assemble --scan to start
the raid and then post when it works.

Thanks, BobH
