Boot Problem - Error: read only filesystem

[jaakko777]

After unmounting /dev/hda1 and then remounting it

mount -no remount,rw /

and

mount /dev/hda1

the error got a bit lesser. (I have actually no idea at this point what Im doing just following orders and improvising.. )

It still gives the same error but this time maybe 1 time out of 10 as it previously was a 10/10.

How screwed up can this get by just an innocent incorrect shutdown

[jaakko777]

Well thank you for your kind assistance but I was not able to solve this and I just started a moment ago formatting /dev/hda1 and reinstalling the system...

this could have been fixed...oh well

Hi, old thread I know but I would like to know how it could be fixed as I have exactly the same problem with a server running FC5.

Trouble is server is one side of the UK and I am the other so really need a command line fix to save a long train ride with a dvd and red face.
