I eventually got 2157 to boot by editing the init script in the initrd image to utterly eradicate all references to the Windows XP raid that I don't want to access from linux (but which linux insisted on trying to access anyway). If you are actually trying to boot from a raid you need to be able to access, the solution isn't as simple. My bugzillas with more details about what I did are:

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.
