I am having a bit of a problem with getting a normal boot up
sequence when trying to split out /usr/share into a different
partition due to my /usr space running out of room.

Here is what I did:

/dev/sda1 = /boot
/dev/sda2 = /
/dev/sda3 = swap
/dev/sdb1 = /share (new)
/dev/sdb2 = /app1
/dev/sdb3 = /app2

1: mkdir /usr2
2: cd /usr2
3: tar-copied /usr into /usr2 (excepting /usr/share)
4: restorecon -R .
5: e2label /dev/sdb1 /share
6: updated /etc/fstab:

   LABEL=/       /          ext3     defaults       1 1
   LABEL=/boot   /boot      ext3     defaults       1 2
   LABEL=/share  /share     ext3     defaults       1 2
   LABEL=/app1   /app1      ext3     defaults       1 2
   LABEL=/app2   /app2      ext3     defaults       1 2
   LABEL=swap    swap       swap     defaults       0 0
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5;mode=620 0 0
   sysfs         /sys       sysfs    defaults       0 0
   proc          /proc      proc     defaults       0 0

7: reboot in rescue CD
8: mount /dev/sda2(/) /mnt
9: cd /usr
10: mv share share-old
11: ln -s ../share/share share
12: umount /mnt; reboot and remove rescue CD

When rebooted I see:
1: normal bios stuff
2: udev
3: fsck file checks
4: <do not see the gui screen showing services being loaded>
5: Immediately see the GDM greeter (Login screen)
6: Login as normal user and my services and network is disabled.

I checked /usr/share and it is correctly symlinked to /share/share

Do I have the fstab order right i.e. should I put the
/share ahead of /boot or does it matter?

Any advice?
mount /dev/sdb1 on /usr/share after /usr is mounted. Stuff the symlink.

You shouldn't need to use the rescue disk for this. You might need to do selinux stuff, it's outside my experience.
