For the archive: I recently (last week) had an incident with FC3 where a kernel
upgrade rendered the machine unbootable. The problem aparrently is a
bug in grub where it is too stupid to figure out what BIOS drives
correspond to /dev/md0 and it will ignore attempts to use /dev/sda
instead; so instead of leaving the configuration alone, it merely
makes the system completely unusable.
Solution:

This bug has aparrently been with us since 7.3 (snarky observation deleted).
