Check /boot/grub/menu list; I think that's where the kernel is being told to mount the root-fs read-only: title server 2.6.30 root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.30-server root=/dev/hda1 ro savedefault Or what else is this "ro" for? You can press e in grub to edit this before booting, go to the line to edit, press e again, edit the line and finally press enter to boot. Maybe it works ... -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
