Boot a live linux distro...maybe get KNOPPIX or Floppy Linux...fsck the disk then restart your system....if you don't mind my asking which file system are you using....if you are using ext2 I would suggest changing to ext3 for everything...even /boot.....ext3 is a journaled file system. There is also ReiserFS and JFS. Hope this helps. Maybe someone else on the list can tell you if RH9 has live CD mode....??? It may I don't know.
