trouble with raid0 on fedora

I am having trouble setting up software raid0 on fedora remotely.

I can get it functioning properly after setting it up but during a reboot the machine hangs, I have to call the DC and wait for them to comment out the mount for the raid in the fstab.

Here are the steps that I used to create the raid.

Code: 
mdadm --create /dev/md0 --level=0 --raid-devices=3 /dev/hdb1 /dev/hdc1 /dev/hdd1
I created /etc/mdaconf with the following information

Code: 
DEVICE /dev/hda* /dev/hdb*
I ran the following command
Code: 
mdadm --detail --scan >> /etc/dadm.conf
I verified that the following information exists in /etv/dadm.conf

Code: 
DEVICE /dev/hdb* /dev/hdc* /dev/hdd*
ARRAY /dev/md0 level=raid0 num-devices=2 UUID=XXXXXXXXXXXX   devices=/dev/hdb1,/dev/hdc1,/hdd1
once I have completed this and mounted to /backups I can copy files to it it functions properly.

During he reboot it hangs and as stated above they have to comment out the line in the fstab for this device..

Additional Information
I Fdisk'd the drives with 1 single partition from start to end of the drive.

After creating the raid I ran mkfs.ext3 /dev/md0

after verifying that the raid is working I added the followingto /etc/fstab

Code: 
/dev/md0     /backups   ext3  defaults  1 2
please help trouble with raid0 on fedora
