I'd suggest going into fdisk and listing the partions on the drive and see what FS type it shows are on the drives. What are they currently supposed to be? This isn't the drive you booted off of I venture to guess or did you install RH9 into a FAT partition? Give us some details about how your system is currently setup, i.e. # of drives, types, how they're configured, which one you boot from, and the FSs on those drives.
