The other day I received a message from another user with the same problem, I hope it will be useful to anyone who will come to face the read-only boot mounting issue.

My fix: in fstab, make sure that "rw" is included in the reiserfs options for your root dir. eg, /dev/hdc2 / reiserfs notail,noatime,rw 0 1 I have never needed to explicity tell it to mount rw in fstab before, so I never put that in until tonight. This is probably the dumbest thing I have ever seen in Linux. I cannot figure out what broke what... or when... or why... but this was the last-ditch effort that I truly did not expect to do anything. As far as I can tell from your description in linux.debian.user, our problems were identical, so I would surmise that this will get you going too. Good luck! -- Gunnar Hallgren == End forwarded message == Thanks to Gunnar. Regards, -- .''`.
