With the latest kernel to Fedora 16 x86_64 starting with
kernel-3.2.9-2.fc16.x86_64, Linux software RAID no longer works.
kernel-3.2.10-3.fc16.x86_64 has the same issue.
kernel-3.2.7-1.fc16.x86_64 works just fine.  I just didn't notice it
until a recent reboot into 3.2.9 and 3.2.10.

With the 3.2.9 and 3.2.10 kernel for Fedora 16, the system can't boot
so it prompts for root's password to login for repairs.  The errors on
the screen upon login and exiting to 'default' mode is:

    device-mapper: table: 253.4: multipath: error getting device

/boot isn't mounted.  This is my fstab file:

   /dev/mapper/vg_home-lv_root /                       ext4

   sysfs                   /sys                    sysfs   defaults        0 0

   LABEL=data1  /data1  xfs     defaults,noatime 0 0

It appears all devices managed by LVM and Linux software RAID are
having issues mounted.  Again, kernel 3.2.7 for FC16 works just fine,
but antyhing after that doesn't work.
