The mkinitrd script is broken for up2date Fedore Core 3. udev is not
building the sata device in time. The script does: '/sbin/udevstart',
'raidautorun /dev/md0'. I just checked and the sata volumes are
missing out of my array.

This script used to work and changes after 2.6.11 have thrown off the
timing so that it doesn't work anymore.

echo "Loading libata.ko module"
insmod /lib/libata.ko
echo "Loading ata_piix.ko module"
insmod /lib/ata_piix.ko
echo "Loading raid1.ko module"
insmod /lib/raid1.ko
/sbin/udevstart
raidautorun /dev/md0
echo Creating root device
mkrootdev /dev/root
umount /sys
echo Mounting root filesystem
mount -o defaults --ro -v -t ext3 /dev/root /sysroot
mount -t tmpfs --bind /dev /sysroot/dev
echo Switching to new root
switchroot /sysroot
umount /initrd/dev
