Did you relabel the partitions (a primarily Red Hat thing)?
(tune2fs -L volume-label)

Can you include your /etc/fstab??

Perms on temp are usually wide open with the sticky
bit turned on.... but wide-open (rwxrwxrwx) will get things going
at first.. then you can easily add the sticky bit with
a chmod +t /tmp (rwxrwxrwt).
