Well, the messages themselves are not a problem...depending upon what happens. The kernel normally mounts the root filesystem read-only initially. The boot processes is then supposed to remount the filesystem read-write. In gentoo, this happens in the checkroot init script, which should be part of boot (rc-update -s | grep checkroot) Is your system failing to boot? -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
