Hi,

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.

I do yum update against fedora development, so I think I install latest 
package. Do you mean I need to build initrd.img manually?

Sorry, I didn't see your reply email to me.  What I meant there was that the 
mkinitrd package in development had been broken several times, and if you 
install a kernel while mkinitrd is not working correctly, then you'll have to 
fix it by either 1) uninstall and reinstall the kernel with a working mkinitrd 
packge, or 2) manually run mkinitrd (again needing a version that works) and 
manually replacing the initrd.img in your /boot with the new one you made.

But I hope you got a new kernel by now and things are working.
