My colleague's Redhat 9 failed to boot, showing a error in

Then I tried to mount the root partition, it said the device is busy or
already mounted.
I think Knoppix mounts all detected "linux" filesystems at boot time, running df should show which ones are mounted.
I tried running `badblocks /dev/hda2`, no error reported.
Then I `e2fsck /dev/hda2`, it still said the device is busy.
Unmount the filesystem before you run fsck.
Now how could I safely recover the partition? Is it a dead superblock?
If there had been superblock missing, then the system hadn't mounted the slice.
I do suggest you boot from RedHat 9 install CD1 in rescue mode, mount the filesystems on the harddrive (say yes when asked if mount them), chroot /mnt/sysmount (think it was called so) and reinstall the initscripts rpm (you find one on the CD, or you can download a new one from fedoralegacy.org).
