K, I am trying to get RH 7.1 to run under Grub, My windows partition boots fine no problems, but my linux partition freaks out when it gets to the "Checking the root Filesystem" sequence. It gives an error saying that "/dev/hda6" is already mounted. and fails. I have noticed in this boot sequence that it normally mentions how it is re-mounting / in rw mode, so I tried adding the ro option at the end of the kernel line in grub, but that provided no relief. Anyideas??
Please, anybody, I am taking the RHCE exam friday and am just about ready, but I am almost possitive this problem will be on the debug portion. Any help is greatly appreciated!!!
k, I have it narrowed down to the fact that when I boot from grub, my root filesystem is being mounted Read/Writeable before fsck is run, meaning it will not let me continue. What would the line in Grub.conf look like to make it load the root filesystem read-only. I am running rh 7.1, with an initrd. I have tried the following:
vmlinuz is there, and grub is actually booting the kernel, but it is booting it read writeable, meaning when it comes time to fsck it it can't get passed this. I will do the TAB thing to see if that gets me anywhere, but technically the vlminuz is starting up, I just think it is being called slightly incorrectly.
the problem is this system was originally configured with a bootdisk, and not lilo so I have no lilo config to look at... what kernel parameter makes it load read-only?
