upgrade to fedora 9 seems to need grub to be re-installed.

boot with rescue disk (or installation disk and type 'linux rescue')

after it 'finds' the installation and gives you a prompt, type...

chroot /mnt/sysimage
grub-install /dev/sda
exit
exit

and it will reboot and all should be good if /etc/fstab is correct
