Back to Old Days
I have concluded that all distros decline more and more release by release. I have gone back to my first distro SuSE 9.2, this is purchased Professional version of a full of software distro. When I first installed it, it booted without complain. Now root filesystem is mounting read only. Any cure?

Type "man mount" and look for the "-n", the "-w" and the "-o remount" options.
They should allow you to remount the filesystem writeable.

I have tried
but upto no avail.Code:mount -n -o remount,rw /
Because you have to exit or CTRL + d to reboot, and it rebootsin RO mode."When you have nothing to say, say nothing."

Assuming that you don't have "ro" somehow set in fstab (and I imagine that's the first thing you checked), I'm not 100% certain. Is there anything in dmesg about errors in detecting your hard drive?
