So, if I make a ramdisk and add it to my custom kernel's lines in
grub.conf I won't have to fsck the / partition after a bad hang? Other
partitions come up and recover their journals, but / doesn't with the
custom kernel. I suppose the stock Red Hat kernel would...hmmmm.

Thanks for pointing that out,
