A badly crashed filesystem can seem to be in read only mode, did you check the mount flags and dmesg messages before rebooting?
Try booting up on a rescue CD and run fsck on all filesystems, if this does not work I suggest that you apply your backup.

Good Day All,
I have a serious problem on one of my servers running CentOS 5!!!
The problem started this way,
I wanted to store some data under /home and I got an error message saying it is in the read only mode
So I rebooted the machine,
Then I see this serious error messages at boot time (I am unable to boot)
Here is the Error Message!!!
*** Error occurred during the file system check.
*** Dropping you to shell; the system will reboot
*** when you leave the shell
Give root password for maintenance
(or type control D to continue):
Bash: dircolors: command not found
Bash: /usr/bin/id: No such file or directory
Bash: [:=: unary operator expected
(Repair filesystem)1 #
When I press control D the machine reboots itself and comes back to the same prompt asking for root password for maintenance
Your help in this matter is highly appreciated
Many Thanks
Harry
