Check your current working directory with the pwd command and post the output. Maybe your login directory doesn't contain anything. To simple to be that, but you never know

[root@evolution3 root]# pwd
/root
[root@evolution3 root]#

Well, it looks like that you are logged in your home directory which is empty. After log in, try to cd .. and then ls -laF. You should see the contents of your system.
