Hello,
upgrading directly from RHEL 2.1 to RHEL 5 is not supported by Red Hat. You could upgrade from RHEL 2.1 to 3 and from there to 4 and then to RHEL 5, but since each upgrade can cause inconsistencies we recommend against it.
Backing up the data on the system and then doing a fresh install of RHEL 5 and then recovering the data from the backup afterwards is the recommended approach.

I suggest you check the Redhat documentation for that issue. I'd read the RedHat release notes for RHEL 5.
