I get this every time I boot, in the initrd console:

this message is generated near line 270 (search dmraid)
maybe put in a "read" and reboot or -iirc- init 1 and init 3.

i have seen this problem for month and solved it shortly.
i had played with hd mirroring month ago.
since then, one of my hd's held at signature which marked it as raid

(fc5 never cared about, fc6 *do* !)
this was the entry in rc.sysinit:
dmraid -ay --ignorelocking pdc_dhhjahccbf
the last part is/was the signature.
dmraid -r will show this.
see. man dmraid
with this signature i wasn't able to work with the drive under fc6t3.
no swap access to that drive,...

maybe it's the same for you or the bugzilla-*solution*...
hint:
if it is the dmraid signature problem: install a other kernel, cause
it's handled by that.
you can see the differences with
zcat initrd-<your-kernel-version> | cpio -di
and an compare of the init's of 2 diff. kernels.
look at dm-....
