Re: [SLE] cannot fsck because root is not read only

30 Jun 2002

      Thanks Anders,

I checked /etc/lilo.conf

It had the "read-only" line.  I ran /sbin/lilo and got an error message

could not find initrd= /boot/initrd

In lilo.conf there were lines
initrd= /boot/initrd  # automatically added by patch_lilo_conf

I deleted these lines (one for the normal vmlinuz and one for vmlinuz.suse

Then I ran /sbin/lilo and it worked.

Thereafter the boot works and fsck worked normally.

Thanks all,

Do I simply, as root, use konquerer to set the permissions of
/dev/hda5 to user R, group R  where user is root and group is disk ?
Put the line "read-only" somewhere at the top of /etc/lilo.conf and run 
/sbin/lilo
