Booting up to read only file system

[WeDeliver]

My Mandrake 7 system suddenly started booting up into read only, and it cant create or modify files and keeps crashing on bootup. This is so damn Microsoft esque, any ideas?

Well,without some more detail none here...but you most likely misconfigured some files (fsab?).See if you can boot to single and remount the fs to read/write and correct the error(s) (eg. linux single mount=/dev/hdaX rw on lilo prompt where /dev/hdaX is your / partiton).Hope this helps.

Figured it out. BIOS setting of all thins, wasnt a Ultra ATA hdd, a damn board on a removable hard drive carraige was casuing my settins not to stay. Removed the carraige, good to go.
