Thanks Tom.  In this case FC5 is the only OS on the box, and we're booting 
from the raid array.  Apparently Linux kernel 2.6.17.7 has just been 
released.  This is a production box (one of our DNS servers) so rather 
than fool around with 2.6.17-1.2157_FC5smp any more I'll wait for the new 
kernel to show up in yum and see what happens with that.
