Agreed, however it appears that the system is not doing this from a 
start up script due to the large numbers of error messages regarding a 
read-only file system.  I tried this from a command prompt in the hope
that it would give me an error message that I could use in 
trouble-shooting but it worked normally.

Fedora core 3 used GRUB as the boot loader (part of my problem may be 
that all of the how-to's that I have found still deal with lilo).  The
only options for a boot loader with Fedora core 3 are 'GRUB' and not to
install a boot loader.  Any tips on using GRUB with RAID
