Looks like you've got a bad initrd image without the proper drivers for your 
hardware.  To move from the fc8 to fc9 kernel you'll be needing to get the new 
mkinitrd package I think as well, did you do that?  You may need to uninstall 
the kernel, update mkinitrd, then reinstall the kernel.  If that fails you might 
have to try building the initrd manually.
