There is a bug in the FC2 automounter which prevents local ext3 partitions
to be mounted. It spits messages in the system logs like "corrupted
partition". It is in bugzilla (I forgot the #, but if you look for bugs
for autofs, you'll find it). The suggested solution is to download
autofs-4.1.3-4 from http://people.redhat.com/~jmoyer/: it worked for me.
I really don't understand why RH didn't issue an official erratum for
this....
