RHEL 9: "You are in emergency mode", "Missing /dev/mapper/rhel-home"

Latest response

Yesterday, I went ahead and updated all of my packages with a sudo dnf check-update, and then a sudo dnf update, and it updated everything. I saw there was a kernel update in there too.

This evening, I go onto RHEL and the following message appears:
"You are in emergency mode...."

I go to enter my root password, it doesn't work. I keep on trying, and it still doesn't work, even though I know I'm entering the correct password.

I then make a bootable USB with SystemRescue, and I can see the logical volumes, rhel-swap, rhel-root, rhel-home. I go ahead and mount those drives, and change my root password. I reboot, try the same process I discussed above, and still had no success getting in.

I then use SystemRescue to boot into RHEL, and it works. I then reboot, and I still get the emergency mode message, but now after several attempts, it accepts one of the passwords I made in SystemRescue. Now I'm in my rhel bash. Now apparently rhel-home is missing...... facepalm

I go back into SystemRescue and I can see it is there. What can I do to make it visible on the RHEL side, and to stop the "emergency mode" thing from happening?

Thanks!
