On FC2,
# rpm -q mkinitrd nfs-utils initscripts
mkinitrd-3.5.22-1
nfs-utils-1.0.6-22
initscripts-7.55.1-1

Something is very odd here. It looks like you've still got your old RH9
packages around.

At this point, I'd take a good backup. You could try running the FC2
upgrade again.

How, exactly, are your disks organised?

Could you post the output of
fdisk -l /dev/hda
and
for i in $(fdisk -l /dev/hda | egrep ^/dev/ | cut -d\  -f1) ; do echo $i ;
e2label $i 2>/dev/null ; done
and /etc/fstab?

(If you have any other disks, can you do the same for them?)

(Does anyone know of a better way of showing which devices have which
labels? At this time of night, I can't think of one...)

James.
