New RedHat Enterprise distro is clobbered


Hey guys,

My new RedHat Enterprise distro is clobbered. I can't update or create anything, as a user or even as superuser or root. Example:

[admin@localhost ~]$ su -
Password:
[root@localhost root]$ whoami
root
[root@localhost root]$ touch x
touch: creating `x': Permission denied
[root@localhost root]$

Please help!
