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.
