In theory.

In any case, had he upgraded to 7.3.x prior to the RHL8.0 to RHL9 upgrade, why
did he receive any errors?  The OS upgrade process for Red Hat Linux, as you
well know, involves shutting the database system down prior to rebooting with
the OS CD.  So the very fact that there were any errors upon initial restart
is disturbing to me, even if he was on 7.3.x prior to his RHL9 upgrade.

Now if I just had a sacrificial RHL8.0 machine to test this with....
