This usually happen when '/etc/init.d/boot.localfs' runs 'fsck' and it returns failure. The message would be this one:
| echo "fsck failed. Please repair manually and reboot. The root" | echo "file system is currently mounted read-only. To remount it" | echo "read-write do:"
Well, I ran fsck via the first CD's repair mode. Nothing found. But I could always try it by hand too.
But if it is the '/' partittion, and it is a reiserfs one, then you need to boot the rescue CD and fsck it - or run 'reiserfsck'.
No, its ext3. Is there a sane way to get the CD's to replace grub with lilo after installation? (no flames please :-) thanks. Michael -- Michael Fischer Happiness is a config option. michael@visv.net Recompile and be happy.
