maybe you have problem with your installation media . try installing a newer distro such as ubuntu 6.06 , SLED 10 , etc . maybe your hardware is too new For Red Hat 9 . when installing linux , select to install the boot loader in the "/" partition or "/boot" partition but not in the mbr .

RedHat Linux 9.0 is too old!! Try using Fedora Core 5, Ubuntu 6.06 or Suse 10.1 Linux.
Since RedHat 9.0 doesn't support new hardware. You better switch to the latest
Linux distros I have mentioned.
