The changelog for the latest initscripts update suggests there may be a
fix there:

* Tue Jan 11 2005 Bill Nottingham <notting at redhat.com> 7.55.2-1

- use usbfs, not usbdevfs (#144756)
- handle binfmt_misc in rc.sysinit for the case where it's built in
(#129954)
- use s-c-keyboard, not kbdconfig (#133929)
- fix various minilogd bogosities (#106338)
- fix bonding + no IP (#127825)
- fix handling of nonexistent devices (#132839)
- fix shell quoting in ifup
- fix GATEWAYDEV (#133375, <pekkas at netcore.fi>)
- fix typo (#134787, <bnocera at redhat.com>)
- fix firmware loading (#129155)
- change setting of IPv6 default route (#142308, <pb at bieringer.de>)

(this is from the FC2 update, I expect the FC3 version will be similar,
if not identical)
