problem upgrading RH9 to fedora core 1

[Douglas Clinton]

Download the iso's again and re-burn them to cd-r.  Burn them slow(max 4).
Before you burn them check the md5sum of the downloaded iso's against those published by RedHat.
http://fedora.redhat.com/download/

Then re-install.  99% of the time this cures the illness you describe.

Good Luck
