Error Start System: Root Device As Read-Write Failed!
First of all good morning everyone!
You know this site a long time, I know that is used as reference in the Linux world!
Some problems, managed to solve here, bad error that is happening, I am unable to solve despite searching a lot. I'm enrolling me at the moment here in the forum to try the final resolution.
let's go then...
Yesterday's nothing Chrome began to problems of access permission, nor root nor with the default user of the system.
To try to resolve the failure, just moving, shuffling me in reading permissions and system writing. Up to an hour that some programs like Vistual Box ñ and opened more.
I rebooted the system when I appears the biggest problem and the cause of my post here!

Attempt to remount root device as read-write failed! This is going to cause serious problems.
If you're using the UMSDOS filesystem, you **MUST** mount the root partition
read-write! You cam make sure the root filesystem is getting mounted
read-write with the 'rw' flag to Loadlin:
Loadlin vmlinuz root=/dev/hda1 rw (replace /dev/hda1 with you root device)
Normal bootdisks can be made to mount a system read-write with the rdev command:
rdev -R /dev/fd0 0
You can also get into your system by using a boot disk with a command like this on the LILO prompt line: (change the root partition name as needed)
Well, changing all files in /opt/google/chrome to setuid is NOT a good idea. I believe that is where chrome exists, so you are giving set UID to the browser, which will allow anything to happen.
Also marking the things world writable allows anyone else to do things to the sandbox as well.
