Yeah, that's what tipped me off where to try to fix things first.
However it does seem to be broken today with udev-137-4.fc11.x86_64 and
mdadm-3.0-0.devel2.2.fc11.x86_64 installed. The rules files were both owned
by the packages, so it isn't the case of an orphaned rule file left behind
after an update.

I'll go back through the thread again though.
