Did I forget to remove or add a service when updating from F8 to
Rawhide? I sure would like to help find this problem if someone could
point me in the right direction. I guess the first thing to figure out
is why root is not mounted r/w on bootup.
Have you tried booting from the cd and fsck the root partition? During
the boot
process the root partition will get mounted readonly, then unmounted and
remounted r/w. It may be its failing to do that for a specific reason due
to
the filesystem.
All of the file systems get checked and are clean. I can also boot f8 from
another partition and read/write the rawhide partition fine. After the file
system check, there is a message "Remounting root filesystem in read-write
mode:" and that is followed by "mount: according to mtab, /dev/sda8 is
already mounted on /". So should mtab be empty on boot? It seems that the
mtab entry is stopping the root filesystem from being mounted rw. Does
someone have any insight into how this works?
BTW, its not an external western digital usb2/firewire drive by chance?
The drive is a 200 GB Maxtor PATA drive.
