When I tried to reboot the system, it comes up as readonly.  See the
attached file with more details.

I tried to use the installation disk to recover the system, but again the
chroot command is not available and /mnt/sysimage comes up readonly.

Is there a simple way to fix the problem?  Luckly all the data in /home,
/tycho-1 and /raid seem to be ok.


Hi, Margaret,

First, the chroot command is always available in the rescue mode; if it's not, then something's wrong with your media.

Second, if it's coming up in readonly, then this *very* strongly suggests you've got a drive error, and that would be on the root filesystem. Boot off of rescue, and fsck -c (check for bad blocks) -y (yes to all fixes) on /boot and / partitions.

   Then build a new /boot and /.
