Hello,

Just to update the list, as Jim suggested, I couldn't find away to stop
the RAID array from initialising during kickstart.

However, after a little hunting with google I found a way to throttle
back the amount of disk IO to use for the rebuild.

This is in :
/proc/sys/dev/raid/speed_limit_max
/proc/sys/dev/raid/speed_limit_min

I reduced both of these down as part of my %pre section and now the
kickstart runs at a reasonable speed. 

Thanks for all your help, and appologies for the stupidly long email
disclamer, I have no control over it :-(
